K2's internal voltmeter adjustment?

Sam Morgan
I'm still getting to know my new/used K2 #2481
the voltage reading when I hit display twice says 12.1 volts.
when I check my external battery voltage
(with a Sencore digital meter) I get 12.76 volts

Where in the manual is there a pointer to an adjustment for the internal
voltmeter, or is there one?

mystery solved
protection diode = voltage drop = the missing .66v
