This might seem stupid, but have you checked the battery? Is the "lo
bat"
annunciator displayed?




It's not displayed, but then I suppose it's worth checking the battery
anyway, I haven't, will do that tonight.



You should check its battery, that's where your problem is. Electronic
meters utilize A/D converter, the converter uses Voltage reference, when
battery is weak it give faulty voltage reference, as a result you get
faulty reading. Do not rely on voltage reading, sufficient voltages do
not
mean sufficient Battery without enough current in battery.


Sorry if I confuse you, let me try again:

get faulty reading. Change the battery with fully charge.
