Use
To use the DMM, first set the dial (picture at top right) to both the quantity and the range desired. From the top going clockwise, the measurements that can be taken are resistance (\(\Omega\)), AC voltage (V~), DC voltage (V-), transistor testing (hFE), frequency (20 kHz), DC current (AC-), AC current (A~), capacitance (F), temperature (deg. C) and diode test (diode symbol). Note that within most of these, several maximum values are selected; choose the setting that gives the greatest precision for your measurement. For example, measuring DC voltages that should peak at 5 V would mean choosing the DC Voltage 20 setting, since 2 is too small and 200 is larger than it needs to be.
Second, connect the test probes to the correct terminals (picture at bottom right). The black test probe should always be connected to the black COM terminal.
