If the battery has not been replaced, you also get the warning message about
the config being lost... Just the 160 error usually means the battery was
replaced, but the system was not recalibrated (or a glitch wiped the memory).
Anyway, I always replace the battery.
The battery is not a NiCad. It is a AA sized (Tadiran) lithium cell. When I
replace it, I install a AA battery holder so the next guy does not have to
worry about soldering.
You can cut the leads to the cell at the battery and solder the holder (or new
battery) to the nubs so you don't have worry about desoldering on a 4 layer
board.
Or, if you happen to a dozen or so fully equipped Pace PRC-2000 ($6000+ when
new) rework stations in the spare bedroom, you can desolder the old cell from
the board.
BTW, if you happen to need a pretty much fully equipped Pace PRC-2000 rework
station (it slices, it dices, it makes Julian fries)... contact me
offline... as our British friends would say they really are a sweet piece of
kit...

It also tells you that you should replace the 3,6V NiCd backup-battery
on the CPU board. It's a soldered in purple battery.
