I get exactly the same thing, but each time I click one turn clockwise to the dc position, and attach the probes to the battery, I just get the ol speech.

Hope this helps David From: terry <mailto:terrycooper94@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 3:31 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: to anyone who has the talking multimetre Hi David If I turn the dial two clicks anti clockwise, e.g. starting from 3 o'clock on the dial, it says frequency, when I press the right hand side raised button. If I turn it one click anti clockwise, it says dc, just as it does if I turn it one click clockwise, starting from the 9 o'clock position. On the 10 o'clock dc position, I get the OL, and on the 2 o'clock dc position, I get a minus milli volt reading.

I'm trying to test a car battery, and have the dial turned to dc, about 10 o'clock on the dial. It just keeps saying "ol", when the prongs are attached to the terminals. What am I doing wrong? Also, does anyone have the manual for it? Any help appreciated. Terry No virus found in this incoming message.
