Wake event has been set, but where?

Well some of you heard the early mention of a phantom boot.
I have confirmed this morning on both my webDT's, a wake event has been set. Both units powered on at 2am Eastern time.
I confirmed this with
Accounting for discrepancies in each clock, both units powered on precisely at 2am according to their respective BIOS clock. I thought it was just one machine, but both do the same thing.
I hope to find more info. I had suspected bad batteries, since they were often dead when not attached to the charger. This was probably due to a 2am wake, and running until the battery died.
One thing I have not confirmed. I used the reset button on both units prior to realizing the wake event. I do however feel the battery issue leads me to believe these units have had the behavior prior to me using the reset button.
So, question is....How do we access the hidden BIOS function? I am not sure if it is safe to start guessing key strokes while in the BIOS.
