with the Range switch set to an insulation resistance range,
take care not to touch the tip of the Test probe where a high
voltage is present in order to avoid possible shock hazard.

even if the Test button is pressed down. Battery check and
operation check are not available without connecting the test
lead. The Backlight function is available at any time.
