or use the metronome with the AC adaptor (STAD: sold separately).

Even after the metronome is turned off, the beat and reference pitch
you have set are stored in memory and will not be initialized.

 * If the battery is replaced, the metronome will return to the following

initial settings.

1.

Beat: “0”
