Continuity Test
WARNING:
Never test continuity on a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
2. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack and the red test lead into
the
input jack.
3. Touch the test lead probes to the device or wire under test.
4. If the resistance is 50 or less, the beeper will sound. If the resistance is
70 or more, the beeper will not sound. If the resistance is above 200 ,
the LCD display will indicate "OL". The resistance will be shown on the
display if it is below 200 .

Resistance Measurements
WARNING:
Never test resistance on a live
circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
2. Insert the black test lead into the COM input jack
and the red test lead into the
input jack.
3. Touch the test lead probes to the component under
test. If the component is installed in a circuit, it is best
to disconnect one side before testing to eliminate
interference from other devices.
4. Read the resistance on the LCD display.
Diode Test
WARNING:
Never test diodes
on a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
2. Insert the black test lead into the COM input
jack and the red test lead into the
3. Touch the test lead probes to the diode under test.
4. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V on the
LCD display. Reverse voltage will indicate "OL".
Shorted devices will indicate near 0V and an open
device will indicate "OL" in both polarities.
