 Resistance, Continuity functions
Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between  and Continuity
functions. The new setting will be saved automatically to the non-volatile
memory as power up default. Continuity function is convenient for checking
wiring connections and operation of switches. A continuous beep tone
indicates a complete wire.
� CAUTION
Using resistance or continuity function in a live circuit will produce
false results and may damage the meter. In many cases the suspected
component must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate
reading.
Capacitance, Diode test function
Press SELECT button momentarily to toggle between Capacitance and
Diode test functions. The new setting will be saved automatically to the non-
volatile memory as power up default.
� CAUTION
Discharge capacitors before making any measurement. Large value
capacitors should be discharged through an appropriate resistance load.
