(See the numeral on the left of the LED that lights up. ) Built-in microphone Use it to input a note directly from the instrument in the "MIC" input method. When the "CLIP" input method is selected, the built-in microphone is disabled. Vibration sensor/built-in speaker In the "CLIP" input method, it senses the vibration generated by the instrument. When the "MIC" input method is selected, the vibration sensor/built-in speaker is disabled. [. . . ] It also indicates that the pitch of the input note is lower or higher than that of the indicated note. The tuner indicates that the pitch of the input note is lower or higher than that of the note you have set. Tune the instrument on the basis of the reference note the tuner produces.

Pitch button Use the button to set the reference pitch (frequency of A4). By pressing the button, an LED of reference pitch LED display flashes for a certain period of time to show the current pitch setting. With each press of the button while the LED is flashing, the reference pitch increases by 1 Hz. It increases continuously if the button is kept pressed. * If the tuner is left untouched with an LED flashing, the reference pitch indicated by the LED is automatically registered in a certain period of time. Settable range: 415 Hz 438 Hz 439 Hz · · · · · 444 Hz 445 Hz (at 1 Hz steps from 438 to 445 Hz) Precautions on tuning 1. The tuner may pick up noise from the surrounding environment or the hum noise generated by electric appliances, and shows indications as if a note is played. This is not a malfunction, and the tuner operates properly when a note is played. When the "MIC" input method is used, it is recommended that the tuning procedure be performed in a quiet environment for accurate tuning. If you find it difficult to tune the instrument with the "CLIP" input method, re-attach the tuner in such a position to the instrument that the vibrations are transmitted to the tuner more clearly. AUTO POWER-OFF FUNCTION The tuner is equipped with an auto power-off function as described below to save the battery energy. Note button Use the button to set the note you wish to tune. It changes continuously by keeping the button pressed. * In the auto mode, the note button is disabled as the tuner automatically identifies and indicates the input note. Settable range: Manual mode : C ~ B (12 notes) Sound mode : C4 ~ B4 (12 notes) Liquid crystal display : By playing a note, the tuner automatically identifies and indicates the note having the pitch closest to it. (The difference in octave is not indicated. ) Manual/sound mode: The note you have set is indicated. (The octave cannot be set. ) Input method indication The input method you have selected is indicated. Mode indication : Auto mode : Manual mode : Sound mode Note indication Auto mode Auto/manual mode 1. If none of the buttons , and is pressed, if no note is input in the built-in microphone or if the vibration sensor senses no vibrations for approximately 10 seconds while the power is turned on, the liquid crystal display becomes slightly dim. If the tuner is left untouched further for approximately five more minutes without sensing a note or vibrations, the liquid crystal display becomes black, and the green LED at the center of the tuning guide starts flashing.
