Micronta Multimeter 22 - 212 User Manual
Up to 100k ohms (with a center scale of 3.6k ohms).
The manual’s lack of modern safety warnings (e.g., CAT II ratings) is glaring by today’s standards. But given the meter’s intended use (low-energy home circuits, not industrial switchgear), it’s acceptable. micronta multimeter 22 212 user manual

If your manual is missing the resistance zeroing instructions, remember: short the probes, turn the ohms adjust knob (usually on the left side or center) until the needle aligns with “0” at the right end of the ohms scale (not left). Do this each time you change resistance ranges.
