A precaution that should be taken when measuring circuit resistance with an ohmmeter is to ensure that the circuit is not powered.
Attempting to measure voltage when using the resistance setting might damage a multimeter.
When an ohmmeter, connected across a circuit, initially indicates a low resistance and then shows increasing resistance with time the circuit contains a large capacitor.
