Use the highest available voltage setting. One should know the system voltage before attempting to measure, other wise it may lead to accidents.
The 110VAC to 125VAC range (not the 220VAC to 250VAC range).
The voltage selector switch is designed to allow users to choose the appropriate voltage setting for their device based on the power supply available in their location. This is particularly important for devices that can operate at multiple voltages, ensuring compatibility and preventing damage due to overvoltage or undervoltage. By selecting the correct voltage, users can enhance the device's performance and longevity while maintaining safety.
For any value turn the multimeter to the highest scale in the value that you are measuring. By doing this you will not overload the meter by using a lower scale to measure a higher value.
A multimeter, often referred to as a "colomb meter" in some contexts, can measure voltage (volts) and resistance (ohms) among other electrical parameters. To measure voltage, you set the multimeter to the voltage setting and connect the probes across the component or circuit. For measuring resistance, you switch to the ohms setting and connect the probes to the resistor or circuit section. Always ensure the circuit is powered off when measuring resistance to avoid damage to the multimeter.
A VoltMeter
With an unknown voltage you should start out with the highest voltage setting on the meter. Doing this reduces the risk of "pegging" out the needle on an analog gauge or overloading the input of a DMM. Most DMM's are auto-ranging though.

Dc V if you are measuring direct current. Ac V setting if measuring AC voltage. Recommend using a meter that's AUTO Ranging.
