You would then use the black graduations and apply the numbers pretty much the same way. Pick the number scale thats close and add "0's" as needed.
If this dude doesn't know how to read the meter he is using pray tell me why are we trying to tell him how to put his hands into something that could kill him?
Just which of us is more stupid? The guy not knowing or us trying to help him kill himself?

jwelectric,
"DUDE", I appreciate you looking out for my well being. But please do not discourage the people here from answering my questions.
The fact is that I may not know exactly if my multimeter is telling me there is 25 volts, or 50 volts on a line - but I DO understand there is voltage in the lines - and I am not going to put my hands on any line, with any voltage, in it!
Also, if the instruction booklet that came with this meter, was written with any clarity at all, or even just an example, I would already know how to read the meter.
If those with experience stopped training those without experience, how would we ever get new electricians, policemen, or any other profession where a 'learner' could get injured. No one would ever learn how to do things for themselves, or around their home or automobile.
We all have to learn somewhere.
Please don't discourage people from helping others, or answering questions on this forum.
PS: I totally don't understand the sensitivity, OHMS/Volt, and resisitance you wrote about?
This is awkward, but...
