 Before checking continuity, you should compensate for the resistance of the measurement leads. This
ensures that the resistance measurement excludes the resistance in the leads. To do this, set the rotary

The display changes to zero and the

remains in memory until the instrument is turned OFF.
If the leads are changed with no change of compensation, the display may become negative. The instrument reports that
the compensation must be redone by displaying a blinking
