1 Initial Operations

Congratulations on the purchase of your Tuning Set CTS-5. It will make the tuning of all kinds of musical instruments much easier. Part 1 of these operating instructions contains general information about the Tuning Set. Part 2 gives examples on how to learn the most important functions, and part 3 is for those of you who want to know all about this Tuning Set.

1.1 Power

The Tuning Set CTS-5-C can be operated with a plug-in transformer, or with battery power. Four batteries type Mignon 1.5 Volt are needed for approx. 6 hours of operation. When the batteries are empty, the LC-Display will show "LOW BATT.". For frequent battery operation a rechargeable set of NiMh cells, type Mignon 1.2 Volt, with a battery charger is advisable, and should be available at your local radio dealer. With 2500mAh NiMh cells, the Tuning Set should run approx. 14 hours on one charge.

REMARK: The socket for the plug-in transformer cannot be used as a socket for the battery charger. The batteries are automatically disconnected when the plug-in transformer is used.

WARNING ! CHECK THE POLARITY WHEN REPLACING BATTERIES.

1.2 Switching on the Tuning Set.

Switch on the Tuning Set with the slide switch on the right side of the Tuning Set. For approx. one second you see the program version, and then the following indication:

Should one of the next two indications appear, please go to the next paragraph.

>1< TUNING ->

>1< ACCORDER ->

>1< STIMMEN ->

>1< ACCORDARE->

1.3 Selection of language for operator guidance

Your Tuning Set can converse with you in English, French, German or Italien. Select the desired language as follows:

1. Turn off the Tuning Set.

2. While with the left hand depressing and holding the key "S", switch on the Tuning Set. Continue depressing the key "S" until you see this indicator.

With the "< >" key you can select your desired language. Confirm it with the "E" key.

From then on the operator guidance language displayed by the Tuning Set is in the language you have selected. Switching the Tuning Set on or off does not change the language.

LANGUAGE English

1.4 Introduction to the diagram for modes of operation

The Tuning Set is basically operated with the keys "<", ">", and "E". With the basic keys you can find your way through the included Diagram for Modes of Operation, like on a 'city map'. You are now, after turning on the Tuning Set, in the upper left hand corner, shown by the big black arrow.

With the keys "<" and ">" you can move to the left and right, and select one of the following modes:

>1< TUNING Tuning with the strobe display >2< PITCH Mode for standard pitch adjustment >3< CENTMESS Measuring or adjustment of a tone in cent >4< TEMPERATURE Mode for historical temperaments >5< STRETCHING Mode for tuning pianos >6< MEMORY Storage of one piano tuning or one historical temperament >7< PIANYZER Create an individual piano tuning

With the key "E" you can move downward on the diagram. The selected mode is activated. If you press the key "E" again, you will enter the next user level or you will move upward, and are leaving the activated mode.

Selecting the wrong key or mode will not damage the Tuning Set. The stored temperatures and stretchings are protected and cannot be erased or changed by depression of a wrong key. In order to become acquainted with the Tuning Set, please play and experiment with the keys to your heart's content.

To quickly familiarize yourself with the Tuning Set, follow the examples given in part 2 on a musical instrument, and closely stick to the guidance.

Don't try to memorize the key sequences in the examples. Try to understand the operation of the Tuning Set by tracing the example steps on the diagram.

Note the arrow in the lower, right hand corner of the LC-Display:

When this arrow appears, the keys ">" and "<"are used for mode selection. You are then at the highest operating level of the diagram for operation modes.

The text in the display then shows you what you may do with the keys "<" and ">", after you have depressed the key "E":

>1< TUNING Select a tone >2< PITCH Select the standard pitch >3< CENTMESS Measuring or adjustment of a tone in cent >4< TEMPERATURE Select a historical temperament >5< STRETCHING Select a piano stretching >6< MEMORY Storage of one piano tuning or one historical temperament. >7< PIANYZER Create an individual piano tuning
