Below 8V, the RC will just shut down. Because of the shutdown, the light will turn off, thus reducing current draw out of the battery. This, in turn, means there will be enough juice to power the RC again. Unfortunately, this also means the light will turn back on, causing the voltage to drop again and the whole cycle to repeat itself. You shouldn't need to press the reset button unless it comes up with a basic run or basic init error.
