Using the device

Clip the device to your instrument. Keep the button pressed for 2 seconds to turn the device on or off. Select the desired tuning key. Press repeatedly the button to select ‘C’, ‘F’, ‘Bb’ or ‘Eb’ for tuning mode.

Press the button again within 3 seconds 8 × with an interval of < 1 s to set the desired reference tone (0 = 440 Hz - 9 = 449 Hz).

When you play a single note on your instrument the note name is displayed. The backlight changes and the fine tuning gauge indicates. If the backlight turns green and the gauge is centred, the note is in tune. If the backlight is white and the gauge needle is left of centre, the note is flat. If the backlight is white and the gauge needle is right of centre, the note is sharp.

Power saving function
