Oscilloscope's internal backup lithium-ion battery has run out

[suttiwit]

Not sure if oscilloscopes are the "general consumer electronics", but technically, i think they are, maybe not the "general" type.

My oscilloscope is a: yokogawa dl1540

The oscilloscope prompts me with the message that tells me that: "The internal backup lithium-ion battery has run out. Contact the nearest Yokogawa representative to have it replaced." everytime I turn it on.

It needs this battery to store the settings and time/date configuration. Just like computer's CMOS battery.

However, this oscilloscope is outdated (so, I doubt the company will support it) and I don't want to go to yokogawa to have the battery replaced (if i can).

The manual says that the battery "should" be replaced only with Yokogawa.
Can I do it by myself? Has anyone had experiences with oscilloscope's backup battery -- e.g. is it like the CRC232, etc.?

I would think that you would need to open up the oscilloscope and see if you can locate the battery and then see if you can get a new one and if it is feasible to change it.
This is a service manual for what may be your oscilloscope but I cannot see any battery.
