Precautions on tuning
1. The tuner may pick up noise from the surrounding environment or the hum noise
generated by electric appliances, and shows indications as if a note is played. This
is not a malfunction, and the tuner operates properly when a note is played.
2. To tune acoustic instruments, the note is received through the built-in microphone.
It is recommended, therefore, that the tuning procedure be performed in a quiet
environment for accurate tuning. Also, bring the instrument close to the tuner to
register a note. If it is difficult to tune the instrument with the built-in microphone, it
is recommended that a microphone, such as SEIKO STM-20, sold separately from the
tuner, be used together with the tuner.
