WARNING: 

To avoid electric shock, never measure 

continuity on circuits or wires that have voltage on them. 

1. Set the function switch to the         position. 

2. Insert  the  black  lead  banana  plug  into  the  negative 

(COM) 

jack 

Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (

jack. 

3. Touch the test probe tips to the circuit or wire you wish to 

check.  

4. If  the  resistance  is  less  than  approximately 

audible signal will sound. If the circuit is open, the display 
will indicate “1”. 

 

DIODE TEST 

1. 

Insert  the  black  test  lead  banana  plug  into  the 
negative 

COM

  jack  and  the  red  test  lead  banana 

plug into the positive diode jack. 

2. 

Turn the rotary switch to the        

/

 

•)))  

 position. 

3. 

Touch  the  test  probes  to  the  diode  under  test. 
Forward  voltage  will  indicate  400  to  700mV. 
Reverse  voltage  will  indicate  “

I

”.  Shorted  devices 

will  indicate  near  0mV.  Shorted  devices  will 
indicate near 0mV and an open device will indicate 

I

” in both polarities.
