Warning don't try anything till you've read this all the way thru.
1st, the knob setting: on the top right hand quad of the knob is a V with a - and ... underneath, that's DC. You'll be using this mostly. 50 is the next biggest number over the reading you expect which is 12 volts.
2nd, the cables: the black one goes in the common plug. The red one stays where it's at.
Ok, now you're ready to take a reading.... what? Oh the scale. We've set the knob on 50VDC, the scale we are going to use ends with 50, see it? right there on the right hand side in the middle of all the other numbers. What? mirror? yeah that's for picking nits with... ok, ok, if you really want to be accurate with your reading, close one eye, line up the needle with the image in the mirror before you take a reading. lissen, don't worry about it, I doubt your scale is calibrated to NSA standard anyway.
That's the basics for dc, no I won't go into it further. you won't remember it all. Now go out and use it. And take another stab at reading the manual. What? it's in chineese? no, no, turn it over, that side is in english, sort of, dam translation.
