Continuity

The continuity test features a beeper that sounds as long
as a circuit is complete. The beeper allows you to perform
quick continuity tests without having to watch the display.
To test for continuity, set up the Meter as shown in
Figure 6. The beeper sounds when a short (<25 Ω) is
detected.
Caution
To prevent possible damage to the Meter or to
the equipment under test, disconnect circuit
power and discharge all high voltage
capacitors before testing for continuity.
