The meter's operating instructions will say what is happening.
Low battery?

no manual i found the meter in my storage room
and i think it shows low batt but i had a full batt connected i think putting a npn transsitor and setting to pnp makes the multimeter go crazy i should not do it again |

lol I was going to say, that is probably a bad thing to do...
If you plug a PNP into the PNP slot and it works fine, than it is simply a readout error (wroing transistor). |
