Power Fail pin of DS1305

I am interfaceing the DS1305 Real-Time-Clock with my bs2 and I am
curious to know if I can leave the power fail pin floating or if I
should provide it a load. The pin is active low and is only driven
low if the supply voltage falls 0.2 volts below the backup supply. I
haven't decided if I will be using this feature, although, if I
choose not to, I would appreciate anyone's input on what to do with
the pin.

Thanks,

Kevin

    If you are't going to use the backup supply. You should be put this pin
    floating or normal supply (5V)
