It's not too difficult (Disclaimer: this procedure is partially from memory).
Assuming your Sonar version is like mine and that your 2101 is properly connected to your computer with a midi interface of some sort(midi in and midi out):
;
In Sonar open a new normal project.
Go to Views menu > Sysx.
In the Sysx window click the toolbar button that looks like a downward red arrow (Receive Bank)
In the Recieve System Exclusive make sure "" is highlighted.
Click OK
Now on your 2101:
Press the "MIDI" button.
Press the right arrow "Next" button twice.
Press the "2" button.
;
Press the "1" button.
Wait for the transfer to complete.
Save the project file in Sonar with some name like "2101 backup".
When you are all done with your battery change:
Open your Sonar project.
Go to Views menu > Sysx.
In the Sysx window highlight the bank that contains your 2101 data.
Click the upward facing arrow (Send Bank).
Wait for transfer.
Enjoy your 2101 with fresh battery.

You can do a sysx bulk dump (and subsequent restore) of your 2101 system data using Cakewalk/Sonar if you happen to have it installed. I assume there are other software titles and midi utilities with similar function.

Hi,
It appears that I may need to remove the lithium battery from the unit ,which would entail in my presets being erased.
Could you let me know how I could upload/transfer the existing patches from the unit onto my Laptop,prior to the reset being done.
I have a Dell Studio Laptop.Slots available on the laptop are an Express Card slot,8-in-1 media card reader,Audio In Microphone Connector,Audio Out Headphone connector
Cheers,
Neil
