Yes, you need to replace the small battery on the motherboard.
A 3-V CR2032 lithium coin cell is required, this can be purchased from a Radio Shack, WalMart, or most pharmacies.
THIS
will show the location of the battery on the motherboard.
How to replace the battery.
Prior to replacing the battery, enter the system setup and make a note of the 'Settings' there.

Thanks for the info, Bev, and your quick reply. I will be picking up the battery and making sure that I have the current settings.
