the green part in the lower right. you use the middle and left ports for miliamps, if you want to measure higher currents UP to 10 amps (keep in mind if you try to measure across a positive and negative terminal, that is about 600A and will either blow the internal fuse or destory the meter) then use the right side for the positive probe.
