- To power on: Press and hold the Power button (usually located on the side or front) for approximately 1 second.
- To power off: Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds. The tuner will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
2. Tuning Your Guitar
- Once powered on and attached to your guitar, pluck a single string.
- The display will show the note name closest to the pitch of the plucked string.
- The meter will indicate whether the note is sharp, flat, or in tune.
- If the needle is to the left (blue area), the note is flat. Tighten the string.
- If the needle is to the right (red area), the note is sharp. Loosen the string.
- When the needle is centered (green area), the note is in tune.
- Repeat this process for all strings until your guitar is accurately tuned.
3. Adjusting Calibration (A4 Reference Pitch)
The default calibration is 440Hz. If you need to change this:
- Press the CALIB button (usually on the side) repeatedly to cycle through available reference pitches (e.g., 436Hz to 445Hz).
- Stop pressing when the desired A4 reference pitch is displayed.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the tuner with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the tuner in a cool, dry place.
