Chances are that it uses a CR3032, which is pretty much the industry standard CMOS battery. Just take it out (or look in the service manual if you can find it on the net), see what model it is (it will be on the battery or in the manual), and get one the same. The chances of it being a special battery specifically for that is almost zero.
