These change various settings.

 Normal Tuning (AUTO CHROMATIC Mode)

1. Connect the plug of the included piezo mic to the INPUT jack and mount the piezo mic on the instrument you want to tune.

To carry out tuning using the built-in microphone, connect nothing to the INPUT jack and place the TU-12BW close to the instrument. If you have a digital wind controller or an instrument with a built-in mic or pickup, plug its output into the INPUT jack.

2. Press [POWER] to switch the power on.

3. Press [AUTO/MANUAL] to enable the "AUTO" setting (lighting the green indicator).

In AUTO CHROMATIC Mode, the TU-12BW automatically displays a note's pitch (the note name) as you play it on the instrument. Most of the time, AUTO is the most convenient mode to use.

When you want to practice producing a specific pitch, you may want to use MANUAL mode; in this mode, only the pitch that you specify is detected and displayed .

4. Play a single note on the instrument.

While the note is sounding, the name for the note's current pitch is displayed. The meter and Tuning Guide show how far the note is from the correct pitch.

5. Tune the instrument.

With the intended note name displayed, tune the instrument so that and on the Tuning Guide light simultaneously and the meter's needle points to 0 (the center position). When the Accu-Pitch feature is on, the tuner makes a beeping sound when the note is stabilized at the correct pitch, informing you that the note is in tune.

 Training for a Specific Pitch

(Tuning in MANUAL Mode)

1. Connect the plug of the included piezo mic to the INPUT jack and mount the piezo mic on the instrument you want to tune.

2. Press [POWER] to switch the power on.

3. Press [AUTO/MANUAL] to enable the "MANUAL" setting (lighting the red indicator).

4. Press [ ] or [ ] to display the note name for the specific pitch you want to practice and/or tune.

5. Play a single note on the instrument.

The meter and Tuning Guide show how far the note is from the correct pitch.

6. Tune the instrument.

With the intended note name displayed, adjust the instrument's tuning so that both and on the Tuning Guide are lit and the meter's needle points to 0 (center position). When the Accu-Pitch feature is on, the tuner makes a beeping sound when the note is stabilized at the correct pitch, informing you that the note is in tune.

Calibrating the Meter's Needle

Rarely, the meter's needle may drift out of calibration, causing the needle to point slightly off from the 0 position even when the Tuning Guide's and indicators light simultaneously. This can occur over time as the unit is transported, or if the unit is handled in a rough fashion. If this occurs, you can recalibrate the needle using the following procedure.

During normal use, the meter's needle almost never drifts out of calibration. To adjust it, be sure to use a small Phillips screwdriver (a 2.3 mm precision screwdriver).

1. Hold down [PITCH] and turn the power on.

Confirm whether or not the needle is pointing at the 0 position.

2. If the needle is n ot pointing to 0, carefully turn the adjustment screw with a small, precision phillips screwdriver (2.3 mm) until the needle points to 0.

3. After completing calibration, press [POWER] to switch off the power.

 Useful Features

Preventing Battery Drain If You Forget to Switch Off the Power (Auto Power Off Feature)

When the TU-12BW is turned on and powered by batteries, the power is turned off automatically if approximately 30 minutes passes without any button being press ed.

Deactivating the Auto Power Off Feature

You can temporarily deactivate the Auto Power Off feature when you power up the TU-12BW. To do so, simultaneously hold down [ ] and [ ] while you press [POWE R] to turn on the powe r. The Auto Power Off feature is always enabled when you switch on the power in the usual way.

Using a Tone to Indicate Tuning is Completed (Accu-Pitch Feature)

When the Accu-Pitch f eature is on, a beeping sound is played w hen the pit ch of the instrument you’re tuning stabilizes within a range of three cents above or below the correct pitch. This sound tells you that the pitch is in tune.

Switching the Accu-Pitch Feature On and Off

1. Hold down [ ] (Sound) and press [POWER] to switch on the power.

If no sound is heard from the unit as it's powered up, it means that the Accu-Pitch feature has been deactivated. To en able the Accu-Pitch feature, perform the same operation again; if you hear a beeping sound when the power comes on, it means that Accu-Pitch has been enabled.

Memory Features

Once batteries are installed in the TU-12BW, the settings described below are retain ed in memory even after t he power is switched off .

Removing the batteries returns all settings to their factory defaults.
