Measuring continuity and resistance
Remove supply to the circuit or resistance to be tested.
Connect the Multitester to the terminals of the circuit or resistance to be
tested.
Press the push button on the back of the equipment and keep
this button pressed in for the duration of the test; in this way the
display is programmed at the 2 kΩ setting.
Read the value shown on the display.
The value can be stored by pressing HOLD.
Disconnect the 709 from the circuit and stop pressing the push button: the
equipment stops automatically.

(1) Produces continuous beep sound when
for total resistance
for a specific resistance : R > 1,999 kΩ and the «1» is flashing.
Volt test:
If the circuit is accidentally placed under tension during the resistance test,
the red Ω warning light above the volt test symbol comes on.
Stop pressing the ohmmeter button immediately; the 709 will display the
value of the voltage present.
