You can still try to replace the battery while insered into the switched on machines, which should provide to keep your memory intact.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE:
-1 Just pull where's battery indicated (refer to pictures),
-2 PLEASE DO CHECK POLARITY (plus or minus) and replace with fresh one
-3 push back the battery compartment
NOTE: the CR2016 is a VERY common battery still available quite anywhere, you do NOT need to buy special one at high price to "experts". It should cost no more than 2€ and don't buy cheap one, they don't last much.
