The reading when you tap the display button is the voltage read inside the K2 
after the protective diode. Are you measuring the voltage of the external 
power supply feeding the K2 with your multimeters? If so, you can expect a 
difference of about 0.7 volts (or about 0.3 in newer K2's or ones that are 
using the newer low voltage drop diode).
