3. Insert the CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Close the battery cover securely.

2. Attaching to Your Instrument

The clip-on design allows for easy attachment to the headstock of your instrument. The high-quality soft protection of the jaws ensures your instrument is not damaged.

• Gently open the clip jaws.
• Attach the tuner securely to the headstock of your guitar, bass, violin, or ukulele. Ensure it is firmly clipped but not overly tight.
• Adjust the tuner's display angle for optimal viewing. The tuner rotates 360 degrees for flexible positioning.

3. Tuning Your Instrument

The tuner detects the tone by vibration. Play a single note on your instrument. The display will show the note name and a meter indicating whether the note is flat, in tune, or sharp.

• If the note is flat, the needle will point to the left, and the LCD backlight will be blue. Tighten the string.
• If the note is in tune, the needle will point to the middle, and the LCD backlight will turn green.
• If the note is sharp, the needle will point to the right, and the LCD backlight will be blue. Loosen the string.

In Guitar, Bass, Violin, and Ukulele modes, the display may also show the string number along with the note name.

When the display becomes dim or the tuner's response is slow, it's time to replace the CR2032 coin battery. Follow the battery installation steps in the Setup section.
