The meter is a common ( but very good ) design.
REMOVE the whip antenna.
Hook it between the antenna and the radio TRANSMIT SIDE GOES TO RADIO.
In Forward ( FWD ) mode adjust the meter set knob for FULL SCALE and then switch the switch to reverse/reflected ( REV ) and read the meter
There will be 2 scales SWR numbers like 1.5 2 3 10 and a percent scale under 1.5 that says 4% under 2 says 10% and under 3 that says 25% this is how many PERCENT of your power is being sent back.
Now as a field strengh meter put the whip back on turn the foward knob up and read it in the forward posision.
I hope that helps you
