You can't measure current (Amperes) with a volt meter. And it is essential to remember that current measurements must always be taken with the meter in series with the circuit to be measured , not "across" it or in parallel. Probably just a type-o, but I saw the statement and thought that it would be worth noting and possibly saving your meter.
