A little warning, some systems don't have a battery as such, it is built
into the chip that provides the real-time clock and is supposed to last
ten years, though sometimes they don't.  If this is the case, you may not
be able to do anything other than send the unit in for repair, in which
case I hope it is still under warranty.
