 To set the voltage limit, first make sure the current limit is set high enough that you're in CV mode ('''C.V.''' LED is lit), and then adjust the voltage knobs until the readout above them indicates the desired voltage. Even if nothing is connected to the supply, you'll still need to turn current knobs at least a hair above zero to put it CV mode.
-To set the current limit, temporarily short the '''-''' and '''+''' terminals together with a piece of wire or (ideally) a banana plug patch cord. The supply should be in CC mode, with '''C.C.''' lit. Adjust the
+To set the current limit, temporarily short the '''-''' and '''+''' terminals together with a piece of wire or (ideally) a banana plug patch cord. Make sure this conductor is large enough to safely carry the current you're dialing in. If necessary, raise the voltage limit until the supply is in CC mode, with the '''C.C.''' LED lit. Then, adjust the current knobs until the readout above them indicates the desired current.
