No, I,m explaining it is turned off, not plugged in.  Its not measuring anything!  I don't have metal in my hand and I have moved my hand over several other meters I own without anything happening.
I have been trying to post a video but it keeps quiting at 21% so I will put this link in here and you can see what's going on.
