will only get this indication of an energized circuit if the power in the circuit is negative with respect to the
COMMON input terminal. If the power in the circuit is positive with respect to the COMMON input terminal, an
erroneous resistance will be displayed. If there is any doubt about whether there is energy remaining in the circuit
you are reading, read the resistance, then reverse the test lead positions. If the minus sign is displayed in either
case, the remaining energy must be removed from the circuit before correct resistance readings can be made. If
you apply an input signal that exceeds the limits of the range selected, the LED display will flash. All decimal point
positions appear in the display to indicate certain illegal combinations of front panel switch settings. For example,
if you select the DCV function and the 20M range, all four decimal points will appear on the display.
POWER Switch
The green POWER switch is located in the right corner of the DMM front panel. To turn the meter ON, push the
