Operation
To operate the Model 3003 handheld signal generator, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the unit and select the desired frequency of the waveform using the eight push wheel switches.
2. Adjust the amplitude of the output as needed with the output level control, which affects only the sine wave output jack.
3. Connect the generator output to the desired test points.
Caution: The signal generator output should not be connected to a signal injection point, as excessive voltage at the point of signal injection can cause internal damage.

Safety & Warnings
The safety warnings and precautions explicitly present in the manual are as follows:
1. An electrical current of over 10 milliamps passing through the heart can stop most human hearts. Voltage as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS should be considered hazardous since it can produce lethal current under certain conditions.
2. There are no high voltages in the signal generator, but the equipment under test usually contains hazardous high voltage. Always follow the safety recommendations of the manufacturer of your equipment.
3. Some equipment may be wired as a “hot chassis” type; equipment using two-wire power plugs are always suspect and it may even include those with polarized plugs. Never touch the chassis of “hot chassis” type equipment to avoid the possibility of a serious, possibly fatal electrical shock.
4. Don’t expose yourself needlessly to high voltage; only remove housings and covers when necessary.
5. Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. However, be aware that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment.
6. Never work alone. Someone should be nearby to render aid if needed. Training in CPR (Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) is highly recommended.
