Audible continuity
In the range of 500 Ω range, the beeper will emit a sound if
the resistance value falls below 10 Ω. For other ranges, the
beeper will emit a sound if the resistance falls below the
typical values listed in

When testing continuity, you can choose to test either short continuity or
open continuity.
• By default, the multimeter is set to short continuity.
• Press
