NOTE
20% overrange in all ranges. You can select Auto or a specified range value.
4. Click or tap to enable or disable the relative operation function.
When enabled, the displayed reading value is the result obtained by subtracting

5. Read the measured value
When reading the measurement results, you can use the arrow keys to switch the
reading rate.
6.
Hold the reading data
Press to run and hold the reading data displayed on the screen.
NOTE
Please do not put the terminals of the resistance on the conductive plane or in your hand
to avoid error. The larger the resistance, the more the impact on the measurement results.
