Oooops Giles - even the mA is a few orders of magnitude out! If the OM-
4 took 10mA from the battery in off mode it would last less than a week!
Although I typed, and my machine sent, micro-amps as a 'mu' symbol (alt-
230), the digest server clearly didn't accept it, so it appeared in it
as A, with the scale qualifier missing! In future I will try to
remember to put figures in long hand for this forum. :-)
