some meter may get OL if you mistakenly put voltage on the inputs, some beep too
or some "ol" gossen metrawatt 28 29 series, i have, if you are in the noob / auto mode lolll it will simply switch to vdc or vac if it detect something beyond normal ohms values, i've done many mistakes in normal ranges, and the meter never failed, no blown fuses
some fluke copied this behaviour too
but if you are not over the meter ranges an applied voltage will display a value ..... my brymen do that loll
