.
3. If
RANGE
is displayed, press the
RANGE
button to enable
autoranging.
4. Connect the Test Leads: Red to
E
, Black to
COM
5. Turn off power to the circuit being measured. Never
measure resistance across a voltage source or on a
powered circuit.
6. Discharge any capacitors that may influence the reading.
7. Connect the Test Probes across the resistance.
8. Read the display. If
0o
appears on the highest range, the
resistance is too large to be measured.
