I would have thought that anyone who knows what a multimeter is, and what voltage is, would be able to work it out.
Set the multimeter to 'V DC' range (Volts, Direct Current)
put the red probe on the more positive of the two measurement points
but the black probe on the more negative of the two measurement points. read the voltage off of the display, or scale.
It's not rocket science.

Usually a multimeter has a series of buttons or a spherical switch
where different voltages,resistances,or current can be selected.
Always make sure that the selected range is greater than the voltage you are expecting to read.SAFETY ISSUE..! If in doubt
approach a trusted mentor or professional.
Remember this also that vdc literally means volts direct current,
Don`t try and use a vac range,which is volts alternating current.
I DO HOPE NO FLASH BANG WALLOP!

Hi,
Er it is a multi-meter.
I think a multi-metre could become a kilometre.
Look for the VDC range or a thing that goes --- over ___.
That will do. You.set it to the highest range, and work down to lower settings.
Most batteries, par ex, set the thing to 20VDC
If it goes bang, not my fault !

what do the vdc gauges of 200m, 2000m, 20 200, & 1000 represnt

turn the dial to the correct scale of voltage.
i will assume u r probably trying to read a battery
so turn to the left on a standard MM
to millivolts. it usually says small m
attach the prongs to either end of the battery or power
source and u should get ur reading.
i would be interested to see what u get and i could help
u read it.
good luck.
