If you have the same model from Jones and Associates it should. As you are holding the unit, with the dial facing you and the wires at the top, rotate the dial clockwise until it stops.
Now rotate counter clockwise one click. Push the button in the probe and it should say some number and DC amps. Push the center button below the dial once and that will make it read AC amps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Hodges To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 10:38 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Digital Multimeter Are you sure it reads amps? I have one and it doesn't have an amp meter on it.

But some of what it can do would require more knowledge of electricity than I have. But it test both AC and DC volts and amps, resistance, continuity and even capacitance or something like that... Not a word I spell often. I couldn't find my old model for a long time so I bought this model from Jones. Of course, my old one showed up in "someone's" tool box. There is a video online of someone showing how it works if you Google it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Howell To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 5:22 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Digital Multimeter Just curious, does the new model do more than the old Radio Shack unit? I have one of the RS units around here, but can't recall all it does and I've been considering one of these other units. tnx, On May 31, 2009, at 3:04 PM, Bob Kennedy wrote: > > > I have one and it's a good deal.
