Testing the Capacitance Function
1.
Set the UUT to
Ω
E
and connect the decade capacitor output to the V
Ω
G
and COM input terminals
of the UUT.
2.
Press the yellow button to select the capacitance function.
3.
Referring to Table 8, set the decade capacitor for the output indicated in the steps. Verify that the UUT
display reading is within the limits shown.

Testing the Continuity Function
1.
Set the UUT to 40

).
2.
Press the yellow button to select the continuity test function.
3.
Referring to Table 9, apply a short as indicated. Verify that the UUT display and beeper indicate as
shown.
