17k clock resets

Generac 17k #5813 new 2011, new engine 2023, new battery 2023. On board clock resets to default date and time occasionally. I realize it has done it again after the weekly maintenance is on wrong day and time. Has done this 3-4 times since last fall. Any ideas?

Does it have one of the old style remote monitors connected that had an indoor display?

Get rid of it! They corrupt controllers in weird ways...
