There is a lithium battery in these radios - at least there is one in my 
1991 9000 radio.  There is one in the EQ too.  These batteries last 
about 5 or 10 years (YMMV) depending on how often they are disconnected 
from the power in the car, and when they go dead, exactly this type of 
thing can be expected to happen.  If you open the radio, you should see 
a coin shaped device soldered in and standing up from the circuit board 
just under the LCD tuning display on the right front side of the radio. 
 I haven't replaced mine, so I don't know if the radio will permantly 
forget its settings while the battery is being replaced.

BTW, the tape deck went bad on my radio.  I contacted Clarion and gave 
them the part number (Saab # 02 47 098; Clarion # PU-9206D91) and was 
told that they would not accept it for repairs because parts are no 
longer available.  The gave me the contact information for an 
independant repair company on the east coast, who had exactly the same 
response.  Tossing it from a tall building and watching it crash may be 
the only entertainment value left in this radio.
