Werk,
No it is not. I did not think anything of it as I am not connected to Cumulus yet and I believed that would correct the time and date so I ignored it .
I have had some issues with the RTC module, with the first (allegedly rechargeable Maxell ML 2032) swelling up so I read on the net to remove the charging diode to prevent this, which I did and replaced the battery with an identical spare I had.
Your query made me look at the unit again now and the second battery is swollen too; I now suspect the board may be faulty, even though the red power light on the RTC module is lit.
I am appreciative of your continuing advice as I believe the system is brilliant an seems to be ever evolving
Kind regards
Jim
