I struggled with mine till I found a summary of what it can actually do in Practical Classics.

Don't know if Stu ever did a write-up on using multi-meters but it might be a useful addition to the series.

use a bulb instead then you can check it under load! you can get 12v through 1 strand of wire! a muti meter can sometimes be miss leading
