I would suspect there are electronic issues with the tester, maybe it has been dropped or age has finally got to it, I have one of these exact testers myself which I no longer use as it's ten years old, a good tester in it's day for sure it's sat in my office now gaining dust LOL, you could send it to fluke for calibration via your wholesaler and get it a good check out, expect a bill of around 100 I would think for a test and calibration, obviously if they find a problem that will increase.
