The front panel has symbols for DC Volts, AC Volts, 2-Wire Ohms, and 4-Wire Ohms, along with some more advanced combined functions which are specific to this multimeter.
This multimeter does not do current measurements.
The right side of the unit has banana plugs for connecting the device under test (DUT). If you're not used to so many terminals, this is because this instrument can do 4-wire resistance, which a normal handheld meter cannot do.
