You would think that it would be intelligent enough to recognise a new battery & reset itself.
Here is the manual reset procedure - no scan tool needed apparently:
1. Turn on ignition (not engine)
2. Ensure headlights are set to on (by switch)
3. flash the high beam five times
4. press the brake pedal 3 times
5. wait for the battery light to flash on the dash.
6. Turn off ignition then start engine.
You cannot do any harm by doing the above but if it doesn't work for any reason, aftermarket scan tools will do this but I'm not sure about the lower end ones.
I use a Snap On Modis Ultra & it can carry out the reset function.

Big thanks to Mike (mh007).
I followed his advice regarding the reset procedure and it worked first time.
What a wonderful club this is, with folks prepared to offer their advice even for non-Rover issues.
Thanks again, Mike.
