    System has to be running.some times you may need to jump the low pressure switch as this shuts down compressor to prevent burnout.
    You wont get accurate reading if compressor is not running.

    Read the directions on the can. I believe they all say have the ac unit on and the setting at max cooling while you recharge / top off the unit. Also.....first time you need to do this it's fine to use a can of Freon that has "stop leak" type of additive. If you have to add more later get the straight / plain frepn. Too much of the stop lead type is not good. If you have to keep recharging the system then find the leak. That's all I got.
