6.3 Specific Measurement Functions

While in auto-range, the multimeter will automatically identify the measurement type. For specific functions or to cycle through modes, press the FUNC button.

• AC Voltage (V~): Connect test leads across the AC voltage source.
• DC Voltage (V=): Connect test leads across the DC voltage source, observing polarity.
• Resistance (Ω): Connect test leads across the component to measure resistance. Ensure the circuit is de-energized.
• Continuity Test ()))): Connect test leads across the circuit or component. An audible beep indicates continuity.
• Battery Test: The multimeter can automatically detect and test 1.5V, 9V, and 12V batteries.
