That may well be a difference, as the ability to clear memory with the
meter off is a difference between the 4 and 4T(i). It is certainly true
of 2 OM-4 bodies with new circuits that I just tried that clearing
memory turns on the meter. The more fully documented '30 second' test
and further info about 4 series circuits is here.
<http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/OM-4_circuits.html> As you can
see, the memory clearing is on the list, but that the meter turns on is
not addressed.
