  1. Never connect the ohmmeter's leads across a voltage.
  2. On an analog meter, adjust the zero before use.
  3. Turn your ohmmeter off when not in use, to protect against voltage drain.
  4. When your ohmmeter's battery is low, or your meter won't be used for a while, remove the battery to prevent damage to the meter from battery leakage.

To take care of an ohmmeter, avoid dropping or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Always store it in a safe place when not in use and make sure to follow proper calibration procedures regularly. Clean the probes and casing with a soft, dry cloth to keep it in good condition.
