Default Newbie Questions - mV

Hi,
I'm a newbie and wanting some advaice. I just purchased a multi-meter and
was wondering when I check the charge or voltage of a 1.5 battery, do I
place the selector to DCV on 2000m or do I place it on 200m? I am
confused as to what is the correct choice and proper voltage selection. I
know that for a 9 volt battery I place the selector on DCV 20 and I correct?

--------------------------
What Brand & Model is your meter?

For a BK Precision
Sw. it to DC - Dial it to the shortest top range on your meter for the
eestimated value of ythe battery., say 2 or the nearest 10th or 20 if your
meter doesn't any other.
Any scale will give you, as accurate a result you need - 10's 100's 1000's.,
and anything under 1 VDC you user the 200m range.
