  • Pendulum Hook: Secures the pendulum when not in use.
  • Meter Plate: Displays tempo markings (BPM) and musical terms.
  • Pendlu: The swinging arm that indicates the tempo.
  • Pendulum Weight: Adjustable weight on the pendulum to set the desired tempo.
  • Beat Selector Knob: Located on the side, this knob allows selection of accented beats (0, 2, 3, 4, 6).
  • Spring Winding Key: Used to wind the internal spring mechanism, providing power.

3. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your metronome for first use:

  1. Neħħi l-Għatu Protettiv: Gently slide the clear plastic cover upwards and off the metronome.
  2. Remove the Pendulum Brake: Locate the small plastic plug (brake) at the bottom of the metronome. Carefully pull it out to free the pendulum. This prevents damage during shipping.
  3. Wind the Spring: Turn the winding key located on the right side of the metronome clockwise until you feel resistance. Do not overwind. A full wind provides approximately 18-45 minutes of operation, depending on the tempo setting.
  4. Issettja t-Tempo: Adjust the pendulum weight by sliding it up or down the pendulum rod. Align the top edge of the weight with the desired Beats Per Minute (BPM) marking on the meter plate.
  5. Select the Beat: Use the beat selector knob on the left side to choose the desired accent. Options include 0 (no bell), 2, 3, 4, or 6 beats per measure.
