How to use PolyTune Clip
Switching Display Modes
If you press the Display Mode Button once, the
currently selected Display Mode will be shown.
Pressing the Display Mode Button repeatedly will
cycle between the two display modes described
in this section.
– Needle Mode is indicated by the center LED
column and row lighting up.
– Strobe Mode is indicated by the middle row
of LEDs lighting up.
The selected Display Mode will be stored and
preserved even when you change the battery.
Needle Mode
In
Needle Mode,
when you tune a single string,
pitch is indicated by a column of five LEDs in the
main display, and the name of the target note is
displayed in the secondary display.
If the string you are tuning is too low, LEDs to
the left of the center column will light up. If the
string is too high, LEDs to the right of the center
column will light up.
Tune the string until the middle column and the
middle row of green LEDs lights up. This means
you are “on target”.
Strobe Mode
In
Strobe Mode,
the difference between the
correct (target) frequency and the actual de-
tected frequency is displayed by two indicators
simultaneously:
1. Red LEDs to the left (pitch too low) or to the
right (pitch to high) of the center LED column
2. “Rotating” segments in the display. The closer
the detected frequency is to the target fre-
quency, the slower the rotation.
– Tune the string until the rotating pattern has
come to a stop and only the middle column
of green LED lights up.
