Using the Tuner

The tuner function lets you tune a musical instrument, such as a guitar
that's connected to the input jack. The tuner detects the pitch of the input
sound, then indicates the discrepancy from the standard pitch of E. The
following instructions explain how to tune a guitar as an example.
1. Press and hold down the TAP button for more than one second.
