The tuner will work with or without a cable plugged into the

Pushing the tuner button (8) turns ON the tuner. When the tuner
is active the pickup system output is muted. No sound will go to
the amplifier or mixer when the tuner is active.
Pushing the tuner button (8) again turns the tuner OFF and the
pickup system output will be active and sound will go to the
amplifier.
If the tuner is ON and the tuner button is not pushed within 2
minutes the tuner will turn OFF automatically and sound re-
turned to the output.
The tuner has a seven Note Readout Display; Half-step (#) LED;
Sharp arrow LED; Flat arrow LED and In-Tune LED.
The tuner Note Readout Display shows the nearest note of one
plucked string’s sound. If the note showing is a half step (for
example A#; C#, D# and so), the half-step (#) LED will light.
If the Sharp LED is showing the string needs to be lowered in
pitch.
If the Flat LED is showing the string needs to be raised in pitch.
When the In-Tune LED lights the string is at the correct pitch of
the note displayed at the Note Readout Display.
SETTING UP THE PREAMP FOR USE
Tune the guitar. See the tuner instructions at 10 and 11.
Before plugging a cable into the guitar’s output jack, turn the
volume control OFF (“0”), turn the 4-band EQ controls to the
middle position center detent (half way between “-12” and
“+12”) and turn the tuner OFF.
Check that the 9-volt battery is good.
