Model UT10A: OPERATING MANUAL

Testing for Continuity
To test for continuity, connect the Meter as below:
1. Set the rotary switch to         

Ω        

range.

2. Press 

SELECT

 button to select continuity test.

3. Connect the test leads across with the object being measured.
    The buzzer sounds continuously if the resistance of a circuit under test is around
    less than 70

.

    The LCD displays the resistance value of a circuit under test simultaneous.
