Set the dial to DCV to a number higher than 12, probably should be a setting for 20+/- DCV, that is the one you'll want. Before starting the car put the + lead on the + battery post and the - lead on the _ battery post, what is your reading? Should be 12.5vDC or so. Next start the car and repeat the test, what is the reading now? You should be seeing 13.8vDC or so.
Report back with your findings.

Here are your results, the first read was 10.23 (FYI the car had not been started in over a month)and after the jump to start it, the read was 13.97. I'll be waiting for my next instructions.
thanks again so much for seeing me through this.
