2. If desired, adjust the calibration and/or select the display mode. (see “Adjusting
the calibration,” & “Choosing a display mode”).
3. Play a single note on your instrument and tune it so that the desired note appears
in the note name display.
The note name closest to the entered note appears in the note name display.
4. Tune your instrument using the tuning LED meter.
The method for indicating whether your instrument is in tune, sharp or flat depends
on which display mode you choose. (see “Choosing a display mode”)
Adjusting the calibration
The WDT-1 comes from the factory with the calibration set to A= 440 Hz . If an adjust-
ment is necessary, you can do so within a range of 436–445 Hz.
1. Press the CALIB button.
The current calibration setting will blink for several seconds in the note name
display (Light
→
Blink).
2. While the current calibration setting is shown in the note name display, press the
CALIB button again to adjust the setting.
Each time you press the CALIB button you will cycle through the following settings.
0: 440 Hz, 1: 441 Hz, 2: 442 Hz, 3: 443 Hz, 4: 444 Hz, 5: 445 Hz, 6: 436 Hz,
7: 437 Hz, 8: 438 Hz, 9: 439 Hz
3. After you have selected your desired calibration setting, wait approximately two
seconds without pressing any buttons.
The new setting will blink three times in the note name display indicating the calibra -
tion has been set. The WDT-1 will automatically return to tuner mode.
Choosing a display mode
The WDT-1 allows you to choose one of three display mode settings. The factory set -
ting is Regular mode.
1. Press the DISPLAY button.
The current setting will blink for several seconds in the note name display (Light
→ Blink).
2. When the setting is shown in the note name display, press the DISPLAY button
again to set the display mode.
Each time you press the DISPLAY button you will cycle through the following settings.
1: Regular
Tune your instrument until the green LED in the LED meter is lit. The blue LEDs at
the right will light up if the pitch is high, and the blue LEDs at the bottom will light
left if the pitch is low.
2: Strobe
Tune your instrument until the LEDs stop running. The illumination will flow from
left to right if the pitch is high, or from right to left if the pitch is low.
3: Half-strobe
Tune your instrument until the LEDs stop running and only the green LED is lit.
The blue LEDs at the right will strobe if the pitch is high, and the blue LEDs at the
left will strobe if the pitch is low. When the pitch is in tune, only the green LED is lit.
3. After you’ve chosen the display mode you would like to use, wait approximately
two seconds without pressing any buttons.
The note name display will blink two times, the display mode will be set, and the
WDT-1 will automatically return to tuner mode.

Installing batteries in the Transmitter
When the battery nears the end of its life, the battery low indicator on the Tuner will
light up. When this happens, install a new battery as soon as possible (CR2032 battery
made by Panasonic).
1. Remove the clip that’s attached to the Transmitter,
gently press down and slide the battery case cover
on the rear panel of the Transmitter to remove it.
2. Insert the battery into the unit as depicted.
3. Reattach the battery cover on the Transmitter.
Attaching the supplied clip to the Transmitter
Insert the clip into the clip attachment groove on the Transmitter and slide it in all the
way. Make sure the clip is inserted in the correct orientation (see illustration).
To remove the clip, hold the Transmitter securely and slide the clip or strap while
holding it by its sides.
When you attach the clip do not touch the connectors
on the Transmitter.
Do not pull the clip by grasping the pinching portion
of the clip. Otherwise, the clip may break.
When you attach the clip, be sure to slide it in all the
way until it is locked, then make sure that it’s secure.
Attaching the Transmitter to your musical instrument
The WDT-1 measures the pitch of a musical instrument by sens-
ing vibrations from the instrument. With some instruments,
such as a saxophone , you can attach the Transmitter to the strap
or any other part that vibrates, rather than directly to the instru -
ment itself.
When you clip the Transmitter to or remove it from the musi -
cal instrument, handle it gently. Attaching the Transmitter to the
musical instrument for a long period of time may leave a trace on
the instrument.
Attaching the Transmitter with the clip may
damage the instrument, depending on vari -
ous factors such as aging and its surface
finish.
Applying excessive force to the Transmitter
or clip may cause damage.
Setting the ID
The ID setting data is shared by the Tuner andTransmitter. This is done to prevent sig -
nalscramble during wireless communication.
An ID was programmed into the Tuner and Transmitter supplied in this WDT-1 package
during production. When using another Transmitter, or when the Transmitter input is
unstable, reset the ID setting.
1. Insert the Transmitter (turned on) into the ID setting area of the Tuner (turned on).
2. When the ID is sent from the Transmitter to the Tuner to set it, the ID indicator
lights up.
When the Transmitter is removed from the ID setting area, the ID indicator will turn off.
Connections
DC 9V jack
Connect the included AC adapter to this jack. Fasten the AC adapter’s power cord in
place by hooking it on the Cord hook to prevent the included AC adapter’s plug from
being disconnected from the terminal.
Never use any AC adapter other than the one that’s included.
INPUT jack
Connect the instrument to be tuned to this jack. When a plug is inserted into this jack,
the internal mic on the Tuner is disabled.
CABLE CHECK jack
When one end of a standard mono instrument cable is con-
nected to the INPUT jack and the other end is connected
to the CABLE CHECK jack, cable checking begins and the
indicator lights up.
Tuning
Tuning procedure
When tuning using the internal mic , turn off the Transmitter, and do not insert a
plug into the INPUT jack.
When tuning using the INPUT jack, input to the internal mic is disabled. In addition,
make sure to turn off the Transmitter.
When tuning using the Transmitter, input to the internal mic and INPUT jack is disabled.
1. Press the power button on the Tuner to turn it on.
The tuning LED meter lights up. When the Transmitter is turned on, the wireless
indicator also lights up.
If there is no input for at least 4 hours, the Tuner automatically turns off. This function
can be disabled by holding down the DISPLAY button while pressing the power button
on the Tuner to turn it on.
