StroboClip HDC™ Quick Start Manual v1.3 EN

Congratulations on your purchase of the Peterson StroboClip HDC. Please read

through this manual and use the tuner as directed.

The SCHDC operates with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery . To charge, insert the

included USB-C cable into the USB-C port on the tuner and the USB-A end of the cable

into a USB charging device, like those commonly used to charge cellular phones. The

lower-left corner of the LCD will show an empty battery icon with a lightning bolt to

indicate that the SCHDC is charging. When completed, the battery icon will be full. It is

recommended to fully charge the battery before first use.

Getting Started / Basic Use

For normal operation, the tuner can be used out of the box; no special adjustment is

needed. After charging the battery, attach the StroboClip HDC to the headstock or scroll

of a stringed instrument, or the bell or lead pipe of a wind instrument. Briefly holding the

power button activates and deactivates the tuner.

The note being tuned appears in the center of the screen. The strobe bands scroll

counter-clockwise ( left ) if your instrument is flat of the displayed note and clockwise (

right ) if your instrument is sharp of the displayed note. When the image is stabilized or

"caged" the note is in tune to 0.1 cent accuracy.

Strobe Newbie ?

If you are new to strobe tuners, you will notice that they

are much more sensitive and accurate than your previous

tuner. It's OK if the strobe image doesn't completely stop. It may shift slightly due to

the 'real-time' speed of a strobe tuner. If you play a stringed instrument, it helps to use

your finger or thumb to gently pluck the string instead of a plectrum.
