The calculator panel in "full automatic control by OM-2" position does
nothing except force the power level switch over to the full-power position.
You can achieve the same with the panel installed backwards, forwards, or
not installed at all.  And with the panel in any position *except* "full
automatic control by OM-2" you can have the OM-2 control the flash
automatically, while restricting the flash power available (set the power
level switch to the other position!).

This applies equally to the T20 and T32, except that if you want the camera
to control the flash, you should avoid setting the flash to any of its auto
positions.

Hi Michael,

Besides all the good tips like cleaning contacts and regarding the maximum
light a GN 10(m) flash can emit, there is the one very basic check:
Is the calculator panel set properly? 
It should read "full automatic control
by OM-2" and be fully slided in till it click-stops.
I once fiddled with my T-10 for quite
a while, before realising a not fully
pushed-in panel ...
