Brian,

Were your fingers clear of the metal parts of the probes when you made that resistance measurement? If not, you may have been measuring the resistance of your body. That is common when making very high resistance measurement.

The only aspect of the checkout and calibration which was not normal was the 
resistance test across the battery holder terminal. With the power switch ON and no 
battery or DC power connected to the unit, the resistance should be > 1 megohm. 
With my DMM on 2M ohms selection, I receive a reading of 0.651, which is < 1 
megohm.
