Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the side or front) for a few seconds to turn the tuner on or off. The bright LED display will illuminate upon activation.
- Tuning: Pluck a single string on your instrument. The tuner will detect the note and display it on the screen. The display will indicate whether the note is flat (too low), sharp (too high), or in tune.
- Green indication: In tune.
- Red/Yellow indication: Flat or sharp. Adjust your tuning peg until the display turns green.
- Calibration Adjustment: If needed, you can adjust the calibration (A4 frequency). Refer to the tuner's buttons (often marked with up/down arrows or +/-) to change the calibration from the default 440Hz.
