Use of Guard Terminal at high resistance measurements
It may take longer time to obtain accurate readings when measuring high
resistances of 100GΩ or higher while the instrument is operated with
battery instead of an external power supply.
In this case, wind the Guard Cord connected to the Guard Terminal to the
Earth Cord. Then accuracy of the readings gets better.

work. Press the Backlight Button when the Range Switch is at any position

operation. When measurements are conducted with Timer Function, the
