Snark HZ-1 - H.Z. Series Guitar & Bass Tuner Manual

INSTRUMENT FINISHES. READ THIS BEFORE USING THE SNARK TUNER.
We recommend you remove the Snark tuner from your instrument as soon as you finish tuning. Please be aware that any lacquer type finish can be adversely affected if the rubber pad of tuner is left in contact with the finish for a period of time.
Some finishes are more likely to be damaged by attaching a tuner to them, hence it is important that you DET ERMINE WHAT FINISH IS USED ON YOUR INSTRUMENT... BEFORE using the SNARK.
SNARK advises NOT to use its tuner with any instruments having these types of finishes:
Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Polyurethane, French Polish, Oil Finish or Gibson^® guitars which have nitrocellulose finishes, unless you accept the risk of dents to the headstock. We recommend using the Snark SN10 pedal tuner instead of the Snark clip on tuners for these guitars and finishes.
Please do not leave the Snark attached to your instrument if your instrument will be sitting in direct sunlight.

Attaching the Tuner to Your Instrument

Use the clamp to attach the Snark to your instrument. Take care to avoid damaging the finish of your instrument. Do not attach the tuner to your instrument if any of the rubber pads are broken or missing.
Attach the clamp to the headstock (placing the body of the tuner either in front of or behind the headstock).
After attaching the tuner to your instrument, adjust the "banana" shaped arm that connects the tuner to the clamp for optimum viewing of the tuner display. Also, the tuner body rotates 360 degrees so the display can be placed right where you want it.

USING YOUR SNARK^® H.Z.™

POWER UP & TUNING

Once you have attached the Snark to your instrument, turn it on by pressing the ON button on the face of the tuner.
Tune all strings.

HZ BUTTON

Press Hz button on back of tuner to activate Hz tuning.

1. Tune each string as many times as you wish, but keep going in order. (see charts)
2. Hint: You don't have to perfectly "nail" the right Hz readings, in fact some slight variations might sound better to your ear.
3. To cancel Hz tuning, press ON button again or wait for time out in 10 seconds.
4. You can re-start Hz tuning by pressing the Hz button again.

Power Save Feature

The tuner display will dim after approximately 5 seconds of no sound detected by the tuner. This conserves battery power. The display will return to normal brightness when a note is detected. If no notes are detected for 2 minutes, the tuner will shut off.

Installing the Battery

The tuner uses 1 CR2032 (3 volt) battery. To replace battery, open the battery drawer, remove the old battery and--- replace with fresh one, taking care that the positive terminal (+) is directed upwards when placed in the battery door (plus side toward back side of tuner). Then gently push the battery door closed until you feel a slight "click".
