Pokit pro measures 15mA instead of 0mA.

Hi,

my Pokit Pro is only 5 months old and i have used it only one hour or so all together. Since a few months it shows me strange current readings and i suspected my hardware untill i found out that the problem comes from the Pokit. It shows 15mA more than it should. Sometimes it shows only 10mA and sometimes 13mA...

The picture below shows an example of the reading when nothing is attached to the probes (Oscilloscope mode; switch set to A)). Shouldn't that be zero? It showed around zero when i bought it. Strange, why it is different now. Not sure if a firmware update "broke" it?

The Multimeter-mode shows 0.02A and the Logger-mode shows 42mA. Again, when nothing is connected.

Why is it like that? Is there somothing i do wrong?
I bought it specifically to measue current consumption in mA.
