# QL News

We lead off this issue by apologising for jumping the gun about the battery clocks. We knew they were coming and would be here shortly after we went to press and “assumed” that they would work fine, coming from a reliable source.

As it turned out, that batch would not work at all. Every time we set the clock, powered down, and turned the QL back on, the clock was not correct. It is also very difficult to install.
