Testing continuity
1 Press again (until the continuity annunciator is shown on the
display) to make continuity measurements.
2 Connect the red and black test leads to input terminals (red) and
LO (black) respectively as shown in Figure 2- 8.
3 Probe the test points. The instrument beeps when the continuity
measurement is less than or equal to the continuity threshold.
