That's an option once I've upgraded the firmware.  It seems I've solved
that one - I just opened the box and changed the on-board battery.
Fortunately I had a couple in the battery drawer under the stairs.  Now
the RTC keeps time over a re-boot so I can only assume the original
battery had died whilst the unit was sitting on a warehouse shelf.

About to try my first firmware upgrade (to OpenSlug).
