BK Precision 2709B Manual Error?

[crab]

I recently bought a BK Precision 2709B multi-meter. I tried measuring a few capacitors, but couldn't get an accurate reading with the meter. The manual says:

Connect the red test lead to the “V Omega” jack and the black test lead to the “COM “jack.

If I do this, it doesn't seem to measure capacitance at all. However, if I connect the red lead to the left-most port that has the picture of the capacitor, it seems to work. What's the deal? Is it a misprint?
