The internal battery on my Dell Dimension 8300 is going out. I have received several alerts "System battery is low. Strike F1 to continue, F2 to run the setup utility. In checking the Dell Users Manual, it cautions that you should press F2 and record all the screens in the system steup program prior to attempting to replace the battery.

This is next to impossible. There are at least three pages of setup options and many of them say press enter to see options. Then I get a pop-up screen of 5 to 7 setup options. I would be a massive job to write down all of these settings.

Is there a simplier way to do this. For example is there a way to print out the settings?

Going into setup by pressing F2 at startup and attempting to view all of the options and the values chosen. It is massive. I would have to write all of that down. It cannot be done easily this way.
