Continuity
This function is having improved convenience for checking wiring connections and
operation of switches. Resistance threshold is being used. A continuous beep tone
together with display backlight flashing indicate a complete wire. Such audible and
visible indications improve continuity readabilities in noisy working environments.

nS Conductance (Models 789 & 786 only)
nS Conductance is the inverse of Resistance. That is, S=1/
or nS=1/G
. It virtually
extends the Resistance measurements to the order of Giga-Ohms for leakage
measurements.
Note: Using Resistance, BeepLit

Continuity or nS Conductance function in a live
circuit will produce false results and may damage the meter. In many cases, the
suspected component(s) must be disconnected from the circuit to obtain an accurate
measurement reading.
