Dear All,
I almost junked some perfectly good silver oxide batteries the other
day. Before setting out on a trip, I checked the batteries in my OM-2S,
using the battery test switch. There was no beep and no lit red LED. I
thought: "Oh, no, not again!" I took them out with a sigh and put in a
fresh pair. I repeated the check and got the same result - these also
appeared to be dead!

Ray,
I just double-checked my OM-2S. With the beeper turned off, the red LED in
the middle of the self-timer on the front still illuminates in the battery
test position (without audible alarm). Same with the OM-4. Even with both
in the red "B" or 1/60th shutter speed position.
Hmmmmm, interesting.
