The manual should describe the meter -- you DID get one with the meter, I hope.

If not, set it on the highest scale, key briefly, and read the point where the two needles cross (as you said). The SWR scale should be on some somewhat vertical lines. Don't use the wattmeters' scales for SWR.

If the highest scale doesn't give a good upscale power reading, UNKEY and change to the next-lower position, then key again.

No adjusting required; just watch out for the maximum power the meter can read, and make sure you don't apply that much unless you're on the correct range.

Looking back on your post, I note you didn't mention a range switch. What exact make and model of meter are you using?
