still having problems, need advice please

I got things to do but the scale at the bottom when you hit the range button should change from auto to 0-4 v 0-40v 0-400v, maybe you should find your manual for it or look it up online, figure out how to use your meter might fix all your problems
thanks again Brian, and excuse my ignorance. only decimal for volts and I thought it would auto down as well as up, but it doesn't. you have to manually set the decimal only, no numbers to set in the volt setting. again, you help was immensely helpful, thank you for taking the time to help a dumb old carpenter (if you ever need any help there, that I know, and willing to help).
