7.5 Continuity Beeper:
WARNING!
Do not apply voltage or current to the meter when it is set
to the Diode Test / Continuity Beeper mode .
7.5.1 Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to
the V/Ω /mA / F jack.
7.5.2 Set the RANGE switch to the range.
7.5.3
Connect the test probes to the device or circuit to be tested.
7.5.4
If the resistance of the device or circuit is less than approximately 30
Ohms, the continuity beeper will sound.
Note: The reading displayed on the LCD is not an accurate indication of the
resistance of the device or circuit being measured.
7.6 Diode
Test:
WARNING!
Do not apply voltage or current to the meter when it is set
to the Diode Test / Continuity Beeper mode .
7.6.1
Connect the black test lead to the COM jack and the red test lead to
the V/Ω /mA / F jack.
7.6.2 Set the RANGE switch to the range.
7.6.3
Connect the test probes to the device or circuit to be tested. To test a
simple diode, connect the red test probe to the Anode of the diode and
the black test lead to the Cathode ("banded" end) of the diode. The
LCD will indicate the relative voltage drop of the diode. Reverse the
connections of the test probes to the diode. The LCD should indicate
overrange ("1 - - -"). If the Continuity Beeper sounds when the leads
