Manual ranging voltage measurement
  • Follow this step to measure voltage with a manual ranging multimeter.

  • Place the red probe on the positive terminal, and the black probe on the negative terminal.

  • If your range was set too high, you may not get a very precise reading. Here the multimeter reads 9 volts. That's fine, but we can turn the dial to a lower range to get a more precise.

  • If you set the range too low, the multimeter simply reads 1 or OL, indicating that it is overloaded or out of range. This won't hurt the multimeter, but we need to set the dial to a higher range.

  • With the range set correctly, we get a reading of 9.42 volts.

  • Reversing the probes won't do any harm; it just gives us a negative reading.
