When I used one of these I just plugged it in and turned it on. After a 
warm up period
it would be on frequency. It's been 13 years so my memory of what the 
meter reads
is almost nonexistent.

I do remember going through the calibration procedure just for 
experience. I used a HP
signal generator locked to the 4060 and set for (I think) 60 KHz. The 60 
KHz was input to the
4060 and (I think) I adjusted the C field for some meter indication. The 
MOD had to be on
for the adjustment.

You really need the book or advice from someone with a better memory :-)

Good luck.
