Input jack

When tuning an electric/electronic instument, connect the output cord of the instrument
to the input jack 

.  While the cord is connected to the input jack 

, the built-in

microphone 

 will not work.

Output jack

Bypass function

The tuner outputs the signal input from the instrument connected with the input jack

 to an amplifier and other devices through the output jack 

.

Precautions on using the bypass function

1. Before connecting an amplifier to the output jack  

, be sure to set its volume control

to the lowest level, and turn it off, to prevent any malfunction of the tuner and the
amplifier.  After checking that both the tuner and amplifier are turned off, properly
connect the amplifier to the output jack 

 of the tuner.

2. Turn on the tuner first, and then turn on the amplifier.
3. Even if the volume control is set at the lowest level, noise may be heard when they

are turned on.  This is not a malfunction.

Built-in microphone

Use it to tune acoustic instruments.

Precautions on using the microphone:

When tuning, bring the instrument as close as possible to the microphone.  Make sure
that no cord is connected to the input jack  

.

In SOUND mode, it gives out the reference note you have selected.

Slit stand

Insert a card or coin into the slit on the rear of the tuner to prop it up.

Strap hole

Use the hole to attach a strap to the tuner.

 Caution:

Do not apply undue force to the tuner by swinging it with the strap or pulling the strap
forcibly, as this may cause damage to the tuner or injuries.

 Caution:

Do not forcibly insert a card or
coin that will not fit into the slit,
as this may cause damage to the
tuner or injuries.  Also, note that
the card or coin used to prop up
the tuner may get scratched or
damaged accidentally.
