What bojan said is correct but you may not have blown a fuse if the meter wasn't switched to read current. The 10A hole is for current measurement and the meter goes in series with the power supply when reading current.
To measure voltage you should have the black lead in the common socket and the red lead in the V ohm ma socket.
I'd guess that the multimeter you have is autoranging so you shouldn't need to press the range button, doing so may lock the meter in a given range and could possibly cause it not to read (read the manual). The meter will read both AC and DC, you will most likely need to press one of the buttons to set it to read DC (MODE prehaps, check the manual)
If all else fails read the manual...
