NOTE When dry circuit ohms is enabled, offset-compensated ohms is automatically enabled
(OC+ annunciator). If you do not wish to use offset-compensated ohms, after setting
dry circuit ohms, disable offset-compensated ohms using the information in
Enabling/disabling offset-compensated ohms (see "Enabling/disabling offset-
compensated ohms" on page 5-21).
NOTE If the Series 3700 is in remote mode (controlled over the bus) press the EXIT key to
place it in local mode to control the unit using the front panel keys. The front panel
keys are not available on all models.
