4.2.1 Measuring resistance.
When measuring resistance, make sure that
the contact between the test leads and the
circuit under test leads is good. Dirt, oil,
solder flux or other foreign matter seriously
affect the read value.
Follow these steps to measure resistance:
1. Set the function switch to the desired
"Ω" position.
2. Insert the black test lead into the "COM"
input terminal and the red test lead into
the "VΩ" input terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit to
be measured.

4.2.2 Continuity Test.
This mode helps you checking electrical
circuits, such as wiring, speaker cables,
some
connections, switchers, or relays for short or
open circuits. In continuity test, a measured
value of approx. 150Ω or less causes the
Meter to emit a continuous tone.
Follow these steps to check continuity:
1. Set the Function switch to the " "
position.
2. Insert the black test lead into de "COM"
input terminal and the red test lead into
the "VΩ" input terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the circuit to
be measured.
4. This Meter will emit a continuous tone
for resistances of less than 150 Ohms.
