The machine will automatically detect the note generated from the instrument. The display will show both the desired
note and the tone accuracy.
If the note shown by the machine is identical to the tone generated by the instrument, the green LED light will be
activated and the tuning accuracy indicator arrow will point to the center of the accuracy calibration scale.
To tune the instrument: please decrease the frequency of the instrument first before increasing the frequency gra-
dually until the note on the machine display matches the tone from the instrument.
• Acoustic Tuning
Current Value
After selecting the desired A4 frequency and key, place the machine in a position where it can easily pick up the
sound of the instrument. Direct the device's built in microphone towards the instrument to ensure a good tuning ef-
fect. Use the foldable stand to increase visibility of the LCD, if required. Should the tuning accuracy be compromised
by ambient noises, an external microphone (clip-on, contact pickup microphone or other) may be connected to the
1/4" input connector to bypass the built in electret microphone. Eventually the machine can be connected
