resistance measurements. Press   to switch 

between the bias voltage (

BiAS

) display or 

leakage current (

LEAk

) display, calculated 

based on the bias voltage and corrected 

resistance value, on the secondary display.

Continuity tests

Set up your multimeter as shown in the figure 
below to perform continuity tests. Press 

 to 

switch to the continuity test function (

 is 

shown on the display).
The beeper will sound as a continuity indication. 
Press   to switch between normal open (

and normal close (

) contacts.

Normal open

: Circuit is normally open, the 

beeper will sound when a short is detected.

Normal close

: Circuit is normally closed, the 

beeper will sound when an open is detected.
