Operation

Tuning

In order to tune your instrument accurately,

• Do not use PU10 near audio equipment, such as aradio or television.
• For faster tuning, press down the strings lightly andmute each time after tuning one string is finished.

In CLIP input mode

First, install the CLIP in a visible place where the vibrations of the guitar will be detected easily.
As PU10 has four rotating shafts between the CLIP and the TUNER, the display is visible regardless of where on the guitar's headstock the CLIP is installed. However, carefully choose the area where to install PU10 so that your tuning is not interrupted by turning machine head or vice versa.
Turn the power ON when the installation is completed. When the power is ON, the LED indicator will be lit.
Next, use MODE button to select CLIP and begin tuning.
Play a single note and try to match the note which is displayed on the LCD indicator with the target tone.
Then, tune more precisely until the green LED is lit up.
The yellow LED indicates that the pitch is lower than the displayed note.
The red LED indicates that the pitch is higher than the displayed note.

In MIC input mode

When you use the built-in microphone, it may catch background noise and cause an error in tuning. We recommend you tune in a quiet place with little or no background noise and play the instrument as close to the microphone as possible. Then, follow the same process as the CLIP input mode to tune the instrument.

Installing or replacing the battery

1. Slide off the batterycover on the upper part of the back.
2. Insert the battery (CR2032) in the correct polarity and put the battery cover back.
3. Check if PU10 operates correctly by turning on the Power SW after replacing the battery.
