I know we did a time set, power down and restart the first time and confirmed the date/time was preserved; I'm not sure a test happened after the most recent change.

THERE ARE TWO BATTERIES ON THE RX2660 Main Logic Board.
One by the power supplies and 1 in the front of the board.
Try replacing them both with FRESH batteries from Walmart (Duracell is 
what we use)
Why Walmart? Because they have high tunrover so batteries are always 
pretty fresh. Buying them online or at a small store is a big No-No
