Yeah, probably at the top of page 21, just above the first resistance
checks, they should maybe say something like "your resistance reading
may be much higher or even infinite. This is typical when using a DMM
(digital multimeter)"

You could maybe add some notes about analog meters, and maybe something
like "Note: Some digital multimeters will flash their display to
indicate an infinite resistance"

What do you reckon?   ;-)
