But further on it points to an icon on the display
"Low battery indicator Flashes when the *back-up* battery is low" (my
emphisis) as no other internal battery is mentioned presumably they
are referring to the same 4xAA cells.

Why don't you put some in and see if the memory holds up?



I have checked and it seems that in fact the phone directory is saved
but the date/time is lost Why this should be I do not know

That odd stupidity seems common to lots of equipment. We have a Sony
stereo that remembers *all* of its settings except the time when it
loses power. The most annoying bit is that (like videos) the time
flashes at you when the power comes back.

OK, so you can't "remember" the time, you need a chip that will keep
ticking as it were but it surely can't be all that difficult.
