Inserting/Replacing the Battery
The clip tuner must be switched off during battery replacement.
Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children.
Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the battery.
Remove the battery when the device will not be used for a while.
Leaking or damaged batteries can cause burns if they come into contact with the skin.
You should therefore wear suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the battery is neither short-circuited nor thrown into a
fi
re. Furthermore,
the battery cannot be recharged. There is a risk of explosion.
• Slide off the battery compartment cover (2) on the back of the tuner.
• Insert one 3V CR2032 Lithium button cell battery into the battery compartment, observing the correct
polarity. The positive pole on the button cell battery must point outwards.
• Slide the battery compartment cover back into place.
• If the device is no longer working or the display contrast is getting weak, the battery is
fl
at and should be
changed as described above.
Operation
• Clip the Clip Tuner onto your instrument’s headstock.
• Switch the Clip Tuner on by brie
fl
y pressing the function key (1).
• Select the desired operating mode by brie
fl
y pressing the function key (1). It will appear in the operating
mode display (5):
C = chromatic/ G = guitar/ B = bass / V = violin / U = ukulele
• Play one string. The note will appear in the note display (4). Tune your instrument until the note display
matches the string you are playing and the indicator is in the centre of the tuning display (3).
Play only one string at a time. Do not hit the string too hard and do not use a pick. Striking the
string too hard can lead to reverberation noise. This reverberation noise overwhelms the actual
tone and leads to inaccurate measurements.
Tune all the remaining strings of your instrument as described above.
• After use, turn off the Clip Tuner by holding down the function key (1) until the device switches off.
• To save battery, the clip tuner also switches itself off automatically after it has not been used (no sound has
been registered) for approx. one to two minutes.
