How do I properly use this ohmmeter?

Hi everyone! I have a FieldPiece sc66 clamp on meter with a great variety of meter functions. I'm not sure how to properly interpret the ohmmeter function. There are two dial selections, 200 and 200K. Obviously I'm going to select the one that is above the expected reading. The problem is how to interpret the reading into real data. On the 200K selection, if I read 4.5, does that mean 4,500 ohms? There are only two places left of the decimal and one to the right, so the highest reading appears to be 99.9, which would translate into 100,000 ohms, falling far short of the indicated value of 200K, right?

I'd appreciate any guidance.
Keith

    The display must have a leading 1. The maximum should be 199.9.

    You are correct that on the 200k range 4.5 would be 4.5k or 4,500.
