Controls & Indicators
PWR Switch: Turns power on and off.
Range Selectors: Selects frequency range with seven ranges from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. Frequency can be adjusted from 0.2 to 2 times the selected range.
Function Selectors: Selects square, triangle, or sine waveform at OUTPUT jack.
AMPL Control: Controls amplitude of signal at OUTPUT jack. Pulling the control out attenuates the signal by 20 dB.
OUTPUT Jack: Provides the waveform selected by FUNCTION switches and the superimposed DC OFFSET voltage.
OFFSET Control: When pushed in, DC offset is set at zero. When pulled out, clockwise rotation increases DC offset positively, counterclockwise rotation decreases it negatively.
VCF IN Jack: Voltage Controlled Frequency input for external sweep or frequency control.
DUTY Control: Adjusts the duty cycle of the main OUTPUT signal and the TTL/CMOS signal. Fully counterclockwise is the CAL position. Pulling the control out inverts the square wave at the main OUTPUT and the TTL or CMOS signal.

Safety & Warnings
Normal use of test equipment exposes users to electrical shock dangers, as testing is often conducted where exposed voltage is present. An electrical shock causing 10 milliamps of current through the heart can stop most human heartbeats. Voltage as low as 35 volts DC or AC RMS is considered dangerous and hazardous since it can produce a lethal current under certain conditions. Higher voltages pose an even greater threat as they can more easily produce a lethal current. To reduce risk, users should follow these safety precautions:
1. Avoid exposing high voltage unnecessarily. Remove housings and covers only when necessary and turn off equipment while making test connections in high-voltage circuits. Discharge high-voltage capacitors after removing power.
2. Familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points, but remember that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment.
3. Use insulated floor material or a large, insulated floor mat to stand on, and an insulated work surface for equipment, ensuring surfaces are not damp or wet.
4. Use the “one hand in the pocket” technique while handling an instrument probe to avoid contacting nearby metal objects that could provide a ground return path.
5. When testing AC powered equipment, remember that AC line voltage is usually present on some power input circuits such as the on-off switch, fuses, and power transformer whenever the equipment is connected to an AC outlet, even if turned off.
6. Be aware that some equipment with a two-wire AC power cord, including some with polarized power plugs, is the “hot chassis” type, such as most recent television receivers and audio equipment. A plastic or wooden cabinet insulates the chassis to protect users.

Use the data hold button to freeze the displayed value for easier recording. Always disconnect the device from the circuit before changing measurement modes to avoid damage.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
If the display is dim or not turning on, check and replace the battery as needed. Clean the test leads and input jacks regularly to maintain good contact. In case of inaccurate readings, verify the calibration or consult a professional service center. Avoid exposing the device to moisture, extreme temperatures, or heavy impacts to prolong its lifespan.
Safety Reminder
Always observe proper safety precautions when working with electrical equipment. Never exceed the maximum input limits specified in the manual. Use insulated test leads and avoid contact with live circuits to prevent electric shock. Disconnect power before making any changes to the test setup and store the multimeter in a safe, dry place when not in use.
