BQ25120 High-Z and Battery insertion

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25120

Hi,

What would be the status of sys in the following scenario:
1. Vin is not connected.
2. /CD is pulled low via its internal pull-down (MCU connected to it is not yet programmed).
3. A battery is inserted and thus connected to the BAT pin (Vbat = 3.9V  > Vbatuvlo = 3V).

We were expecting the SYS output to be on in this case, but for us it does not turn on.

We do however have a button connected to the MR pin.
When we press that button the sys turns on. We get the same result by connecting VIN to a power source.
It resembles SHIP MODE very much.

Is there any kind of explanation you could give us for this behaviour?
