5. Take the reading from the circuit or component to be tested. If the resolu-
tion is not satisfactory, remove the meter from the circuit and change to
the next lower range. When measuring resistance, adjust the

potentiometer after changing ranges. Refer to step 2.
Note: If the pointer moves below the far left side of the scale, this may
indicate that the polarity is reversed and the meter is reading a negative
value. Reverse the leads and read the meter again.
