Place the voltmeter across the circuit or component whose voltage is to be measured. Wrong polarity causes the meter to deflect against the mechanical stop and this may damage the pointer. using a multi range voltmeter, always use the highest voltage range and then decrease the range until a good up-scale reading is obtained.
