							All pushbutton functions are available with resistance
							measurements. The blue key cycles to continuity and
							conductance measurement, which are described later in

							Note
							In the Ohms Mode, a negative sign (-) on the
						ach002f.eps	display indicates the presence of voltage. This
							will cause reading errors.
