Tuning Instructions:

Step 1 - plug the guitar/bass into the tuner - see “connec-

tions” section.

Step 2 - play a note on your guitar.  Pluck your E string, 

if needed, adjust your tuning machine on your instrument 

until the letter “E” appears in the NOTE Display window.

Step 3 - if your note is flat - the “FLAT” LED will light 

and flash. The speed of the flash will show you by how 

much your string is flat. If the Flat LED is flashing

rapidly, tune your string up. During this process the LED 

will begin flashing slower. 

Step 4 - if your note is sharp - the “SHARP” LED will 

light and flash. The speed of the flash will show you by 

how much your string is sharp. If the Sharp LED is

flashing rapidly, tune your string down. During this 

process the LED will begin flashing slower. 

Step 5 - Continue with step 3 or step 4 until the flat or 

sharp LED stops flashing and the blue “IN TUNE” LED 

lights. At this point the string is in tune.

Step 6 - Continue steps 2-5 but using your other strings 

on your guitar or bass.
