Leave the battery in the radio and power down.
There should be AAA or AA backup batteries in the radio to retain the memory. Perhaps you should find the manual and have a read of it for the location and how to fit /change those?
Son in law has one , has to hit it with a hammer to get it to work , or maybe that’s why its so unreliable.
That's normal with battery radios.
They will often hold the settings for a minute or so while you change the battery.
In some cases there is an internal standby battery to keep the clock going, often green and soldered in place though it is possible to solder in a replacement.
