Figure 3-3 Null operation
NOTE
• In resistance measurement, the multimeter will read a non-zero value 
even when the two test leads are in direct contact because of the 
resistance of these leads. Use the Null function to zero-adjust the 
display.
• For DC voltage measurements, the thermal effect will influence the 
accuracy of the measurements. Short the test leads and press   
when the displayed value is stable to zero-adjust the display.
