[TenTec] Master Reset on Power up

I don’t think it is in the manual…

You will need do do a Master Reset again when you replace the battery. The radio comes up in strange states sometimes if you do not do the reset.

I suspect that the memory keep alive battery needs to be replaced, but my manual has no reference to it or anything about memory.  Any ideas/comments??
