Testing for Continuity
To avoid possible damage to your multimeter or to the equipment under
CAUTION
test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing for continuity.
Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. The continuity test
features a beeper that sounds and a backlight that flashes as long as a circuit is
complete or broken. The audible and visual alert allows you to perform quick
continuity tests without having to watch the display.
In continuity, a short means a measured value is less that the threshold resistance
values listed in

You can set the beeper to sound and the backlight to flash as a continuity
indication whether the circuit-under-test is less than (short) or more than or equal
to (open) the threshold resistance.
