Parts of the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T

Installing the battery

When the battery becomes depleted, a battery symbol () will appear on the display. Immediately replace the battery with a new one.

Battery is not included, so please obtain it separately.

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the rear of the tuner in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the battery, making sure to observe the correct polarity, and then close the cover.

Tuning

1. Turn the left shuttle switch upward. Each time you turn the shuttle switch, the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T will be turned on or off. If the power is left on for approximately 20 minutes without any user input, it will turn off automatically (Auto power-off function).
2. If necessary, change the reference pitch (calibration).
3. Play a single note on your instrument. The note name closest to the detected pitch appears in the note name indicator. Check that the correct note name appears in the display, and the meter segments at the center () light up.
   If you want to tune to a pure major third or pure minor third above a certain note, adjust the pitch to the pure major or minor third marks on the meter. For example if you want to tune to a pure major third above A, make the note name indicator read C#, and tune so that the meter indicates the left . Alternatively, if you want to tune to a pure minor third above A, make the note name indicator read C, and tune so that the meter indicates the right .
   
   Meter indications when correctly tuned

Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, it may not be possible to detect the pitch of an instrumental sound that contains large numbers of overtones or a sound that has a rapid decay.

The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the environment.

Reference pitch settings (calibration) (*M)
Each time you turn the right shuttle switch upward (or downward), the reference pitch (calibration value) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz steps.

Meter indication speed setting (*M)
Each time you turn the left shuttle switch downward, the meter indication speed changes. When the setting is changed, "F" (fast) or "S" (slow) appears in the reference pitch indicator.

Backlight

After turning the left shuttle switch upward to turn on the AW-LT100M/ the left shuttle switch turned upward for approximately 2 seconds.

Auto : The backlight will light brightly when sound is inputted or when a shuttle switch is operated. When there has been no sound input or shuttle switch operation for approximately three seconds after the power has been turned on, the backlight will turn off in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.

Soft : The backlight will light at a lower level of brightness in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.

Attaching to the instrument and range of motion

The AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T tunes by picking up the vibrations of the instrument. Therefore, attach the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T to the recommended part of your instrument in order to tune it (Refer to the illustrations).

Additionally, the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T can be freely moved so that the display is easy to read (Refer to the illustration on the upper left).

The AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T may be damaged if you apply excessive force within its range of motion, or attempt to move it beyond its intended range of motion.

Please carefully attach the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T to your instrument. Leaving the AW-LT100M/AW-LT100T attached for a long time may damage or mark the instrument's surface.

Depending on various factors such as age-related change or the surface finish, there is a possibility that your instrument may be damaged by attaching this product.
