RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the
unit under test and discharge all capacitors before taking any
resistance measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug
the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the cap position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM)
jack and the red test lead banana plug into the positive jack.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit or part under test. It
is best to disconnect one side of the part under test so the rest
of the circuit will not interfere with the resistance reading.
4. Read the resistance in the display. The display will indicate the
proper decimal point, value and symbol.
CONTINUITY CHECK
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never measure continuity
on circuits or wires that have voltage on them.
1. Set the function switch to the cap position.
2. Insert the black lead banana plug into the negative (-) jack
(COM) and the red test lead banana plug into the positive (+)
jack (
).
3. Press the MODE button until the symbol appears in the
display.
