7.3. Measuring Resistance
WARNING!
Never connect the test leads to a source of voltage when you have the
selected the OHMS function and plugged the test leads into the V//Hz-
terminal.
Be sure that the circuit under test has all power removed and that any
associated capacitors are fully discharged before you make a resistance
measurement.
The resistance measuring circuit compares the voltage gained through a
known resistance (internal) with the voltage developed across the
unknown resistance. So, when you check in-circuit resistance, be sure
the circuit under test has all power removed (all capacitors are fully
discharged).
1. Set the rotary selector to the  position.
2. Plug the black test lead into your meter’s COM terminal and the red
test lead into your meter’s V//Hz-terminal.
3. Connect the test leads to the device you want to measure.
Notes:
 If the measured resistance value exceeds the maximum value
of the range selected, "OL" appears. This indicates an
overload. Select a higher range. In this mode, the beeper
does not sound.
 When you short the test leads in the 600  range, your meter
displays a small value (no more than 0.3 ). This value is
due to your meter´s and test leads internal resistance. Make
a note of this value and subtract it from small resistance
measurements for better accuracy.
