Bring the strings to tension by manually turning on the keys: Use the key to turn the RoboHead in order to bring every string to tension until the string cannot be pulled away from the body/neck more than 1.2 inch / 2.5 mm.
INSERTING THE BATTERY The Battery is held by a push-push. Please insert the battery carefully with the tip-side.

USAGE AND TIPPS ● Push the ON-button to activate multi-string-tuning mode. ● Strum all strings and let them ring. The LED’s show the status of the strings by different colors: GREEN = string is in tune. YELLOW = pitch of the string is being measured. BLUE = RoboHead is moving.

You can choose multi- or single-string mode. ● MULTI STRING MODE If you push the ON-button briefly, NEWCOMER will turn on in mutli-string mode. As all LEDs will be lighted you can just strum all strings evenly close to the neck and the NEWCOMER will start tuning the strings.
CHARGING THE BATTERY The “BAT” LED above the ON-button indicates the battery charge status. To ensure perfect performance the battery should be fully charged which is indicated by a green light. GREEN = Battery is fully charged = Battery needs to be charged A fully loaded battery should last for about 150 tunings.
CHANGING STRINGS You should change the strings if you feel or hear a lack of quality. Also, when a string breaks it needs to be replaced. Guitar strings are likely to lose quality after some time because of oxidation and dirt from the fingers sweat. You should regularly change strings in order to maintain the best sound and feel.

HOW TO CHANGE THE STRINGS: You might need a couple of tools. We suggest the following: ● Side cutting pliers to cut the strings. ● A neck cradle to secure the neck. STEPS: 1. Take off the old strings – Do it one by one to keep the order and the tension. You have to turn the RoboHeads manually in order to loosen the strings.
