What happens here

The video starts with a Klein Tools MM400 multimeter. The first action is to turn the dial from "OFF" to the voltage setting, which is typically marked with a 'V' and often has both a wavy line (AC) and a straight line with three dots (DC) symbol. Then, the user clicks the "SEL" button to switch from AC voltage (wavy line) to DC voltage, which is indicated by a straight line with three dots above it on the multimeter's display.
