    Fault finding with a multimeter

    Hi, I’m just wondering what sort of readings I can expect for faults on a multimeter? I’ve only ever used a multifunction tester. What readings can I expect for a short cct fault or a polarity fault? I know that open cct will be 0L/1, cheers

    Multimeter check for sound

    Anyone knows just by looking at the back of the multimeter whether this multimeter is supposed to make sound when checking for continuity. I have replaced the fuse on the left of the image and also has a 9V battery. It works OK but never made a sound when checking for continuity.
