ok, will have to read up more. either it dont work or im a ........probably the later,lol.
Set the setting at 20 volts DC and hold the red probe to the center post on your PV or the positive end of your battery. Hold the black probe to the threads or the negative end of your battery. and read the level of charge. On the PV you will have to push the button. If your checking the Ohms on a carto or atty set it to 200 Ohms touch the probes together and take that reading. Now hold the red probe to the center post of the carto/atty and the black probe to the threads ob the body of the carto/atty. Take that reading and subtract the reading you had from when you touched the probes together and that is the Ohms that carto/atty is.
If your just wanting to know the output of your pv one of these are easier to use. Just screw it on and push the button.

That is because the one you bought automatically chooses the best setting for what you are testing.... I found this PDF for it: http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/uc/rsk/Support/ProductManuals/2200820_PM_EN.pdf....
Make sure you check the resistance of you leads and deduct that from your readings.
Same thing but the meter sets them for you and like Rocket said.
Cignot has a short video on how to check battery voltage and carto/atty resistance.
well, after jacking with this thing and going step by step with andy on the phone this multimeter powers on but doesnt work. today i also took it to radio shack and they couldnt make it work either. i was beginning to think i was crazy. well, ebay here i come.
Did you contact the guy you bought if from? If you bought that one in the classy ad then he should refund your money and if he doesn't you should leave neg. feedback.
funny thing ishe is a friend of mine on here and ive done alot of swaps and bought and sold with him. im almost thinking he either figured he wasnt sure how it worked and gave up on it or it got jacked up during shipping. i am planning on pming him to let him know it doesnt work though.
