So what you read was 0.2v with it set to 10vAC. Hardly anything to worry about.
Just make sure your tester is working in your outlet.
Set it to 250vAC, put the positive in the smaller slot and the negative in the larger slot. You should see anywhere from 110-120v.
Now put the positive in the same small slot, and the negative in the ground socket. You should get the same readings again. This tells you your outlet is wired correctly and the meter works.

K so maybe my voltmeters garbage. The positive probe just disconnected from the wire lol.. god. but before that I tried this, negative in large slot, positive in small slot, got a reading of 150. so I think my meter must be trash, cause when I put the negative in the ground and positive in the small slot, I got a reading of 0...
