1.

 

Move

 

the

position

 

(

appear.

 

2.

 

Insert

 

the

 

black

 

probe

 

lead

 

into

 

the

 

COM

 

terminal

 

and

 

red

 

probe

 

lead

 

into

 

the

 

ZERO

terminal.

 

3.

 

Before

 

testing,

 

short

 

the

 

ends

 

of

 

the

 

probes

 

and

 

press

 

the

 

MODE

 

button.

 

The

 

ZERO

will

 

appear

 

on

 

the

 

display

 

and

 

the

 

offset

 

value

 

will

 

be

 

stored.

 

If

 

the

 

test

 

leads

 

are

 

not

 

shorted

 

or

 

if

 

there

 

is

 

residual

 

resistance,

 

the

 

display

 

will

 

show

 

the

indication

 

could

 

be

 

due

 

to

 

faulty

 

leads,

 

improper

 

test

 

lead

 

insertion,

 

or

problem.

 

Tests

 

should

 

not

 

be

 

attempted

 

until

 

root

 

cause

 

of

 

the

 

high

 

resistance

 

is

 

determined.

 

4.

 

Press

 

TEST

 

OK

 

to

 

run

 

a

 

test.

 

5.

 

To

 

lock

 

the

 

test

 

ON,

 

press

 

the

 

HOLD/LOCK

 

button

 

(the

icon

 

 

will

 

appear)

 

and

 

then

 

press

 

TEST

 

OK

 

to

 

test

 

continuously.

 

6.

 

Press

 

TEST

 

OK

 

again

 

to
