1. Attach the positive input terminal lead to the positive end of

the circuit (or whatever you want to measure the voltage of).

2. Attach the negative input terminal lead to the negative end

of the circuit (or whatever you want to measure the voltage of).

The voltmeter will turn itself on and measure the difference

between the voltage at the first point and the voltage at the

second point, telling you how much voltage is traveling between

the two points so that is how to use it effectivelly.
