Further thought.  The RS120 has a CR2032 battery in it which gives up after 10 years or so.  If you disassemble the unit you can
replace the battery easily.  See https://jeanneau.proboards.com/thread/5500/raystar-rs125-battery-repl for how to do it on the
similar RS125.  For the trivial cost of the battery and a little time you may well be back in business.
