Timex cycle trainer 2 won't retain memory. Every time I turn it back on, the screen reads, "writing default settings..." and none of my presets are saved. Is there a battery inside I need to replace?

It seems like you're facing an issue with your Talea Touch coffee machine where the personalized settings for both machine and beverage are not being retained after about an hour and revert back to the original machine settings. This can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Power Cycle: Sometimes, a simple power cycle can help resolve minor glitches. Turn off the machine, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on again.
2. Firmware Update: Check if there's a firmware update available for your machine. Outdated firmware can sometimes cause unexpected behavior. Refer to the manufacturer's website or user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware.
3. Factory Reset: If the problem persists, you might need to perform a factory reset on your machine. Keep in mind that this will reset all settings back to their default values. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to perform a factory reset.
4. Memory/Storage Issue: If your machine has limited internal memory or storage for settings, it's possible that this is causing the issue. Try reducing the number of saved settings or presets and see if that helps with retaining your custom settings.
5. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support. They can provide specific guidance tailored to your machine model and may be able to help you diagnose and fix the problem.

Remember to refer to your machine's user manual for specific instructions and guidance. If the machine is still under warranty, you may be eligible for a repair or replacement if the issue cannot be resolved through troubleshooting.

You can make adjustments to your Automatic Cycles by adjusting the Factory Dryness Level:
Changing the Automatic Cycle settings to increase or decrease drying time:
If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or more dry than you would like, you may change the default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness
level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your
Automatic Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 5 drying settings, which are displayed using the time display:
0 Much wetter clothes, 30% less drying time.
1 Slightly wetter clothes, 15% less drying time.
2 Factory preset dryness level.
3 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
4 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
TO CHANGE THE DRYING SETTINGS: NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (power is off) to adjust the default settings.

1. Before starting a cycle, touch and hold DRYNESS for 6 seconds.
2. Touch DRYNESS to select the dryness level shown in the time display: 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
3. Touch START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting.

First of all, why do you bother to change all these spec? Secondly, since your screen flicked, I would suggest you just leave them like that. Your PC is just as old as mine, don't mess around with it too much.

why not do the special cycle and set it as "My Cycle". that way you can keep that one special setting under this cycle and use it every time you wish to use that particular setting

These resceivers have a bulit-in device to retain some electricity to feed backup memory. It can be a battery or a capacitor and I think they have reached their time to be replaced.

There are several ways to check the memory - Go to system Settings --> About is one way. If it looks like it is more full than WMP is showing than reformat the player, b/c you have a corrupt database.

System Setting Options
Sleep : Turns off power automatically after the preset time. Select either <Off>,
<15min>, <30min>, <60min>, <90min>, or <120min>.
Start Mode : You can set the start screen displayed when you turn on the
player. Select from <Main Menu> and <Last State>. Select <Main Menu> to
start the system with the main menu screen while <Last State> will use the last
used menu screen.
Auto Power Off : Automatically turns power off when there is no button
operation after the preset time in the pause mode. Select either <15sec>,
<30sec>, <1min>, <3min>, <5min> or <Always On>.
Default Set : Returns all settings to the default value. Select either <Yes> or
<No>. <Yes> initializes all settings to default. <No> cancels default settings.
Format : Formats the internal memory. Select either <Yes> or <No>.
Selecting <Yes> will format the internal memory and delete all fi les on the
player. Selecting <No> does not format the internal memory. Check before
formatting it.
About : Checks the fi rmware version and memory capacity.
<Firmware Version> displays the current fi rmware version.
<Used> indicates the usage, <Available> indicates the remaining capacity and
<Total> indicates the total memory capacity.

The problem is IC 701. I looked it up as far as pricing and it costs around 78 dollars. I am not planning on replacing it as it is not worth it.

Can anyone tell me where to obtain a owner's manual? I bought this clock used.
