Controls & Indicators
– POWER on-off switch: Depressing this button turns the 3010 on. To turn off, push again and release.
– RANGE selectors: Decade frequency type. Multiplying the range selected times the FREQUENCY dial indication gives the output frequency, which applies for all functions.
– FUNCTION selectors: Select square, sine, or triangle output waveform which appears at 600 ohms OUTPUT jack.
– AMPLITUDE control: Controls the amplitude of the output signal, which appears at 600 ohms jack. This control does not apply to the DC OFFSET voltage or to the TTL output.
– DC OFFSET control: Adds positive or negative DC component to the signal appearing at 600 ohms OUTPUT jack. Continuously variable for +5 V (600 ohms) or ±10 V (open circuit).

Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment can expose users to electrical shock hazards, particularly when testing in areas with exposed voltage. Even voltages as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS can be dangerous and potentially lethal. To reduce risk, the following safety precautions should be observed:
1. Avoid unnecessary exposure to high voltage. Only remove housings and covers when necessary, and ensure equipment is turned off when making test connections in high-voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.
2. Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface for equipment. Ensure these surfaces are not damp or wet. If insulated flooring is unavailable, wear heavy gloves.
3. Employ the “one hand in the pocket” technique when handling an instrument probe to avoid contact with nearby metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
4. Always use an isolation transformer to power transformerless “hot chassis” equipment, such as recent television sets and audio equipment, to prevent dangerous shock hazards and potential damage to test instruments.
5. Use only a 3-wire outlet for test instruments or equipment with a 3-wire AC power plug to maintain safety by keeping exposed elements at earth ground.
6. Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points, but remember that high voltage may appear unexpectedly in defective equipment.
7. Be aware that AC line voltage may be present on some power input points, such as on-off switches, fuses, and power transformers, even when equipment is turned off.
8. Never work alone. Ensure someone is nearby to provide aid if necessary. CPR training is highly recommended.
