will indicate a single “ ”, which corresponds to
having a capo on the first fret of your guitar. In this
setting, the lowest note on the guitar is an “F”, but
the Snark will read it as the standard “E”, making
tuning appear to be standard. If the capo is on the
second fret, hit the “ ” button twice, and the display
will show “ ”. Additional pushes of the “ ” button
will give you up to four flats, corresponding to put-
ting the capo on the fourth fret.
To return to standard tuning, continue to press the
“ ” button until the flat symbols disappear from the
front of display. Or turn the tuner off and on again
to return to standard tuning.
Tap Tempo Metronome
The Snark has a built-in visual metronome which
is activated by the “TAP-MET” switch on the side of
the tuner. One tap activates the metronome to a
default setting of 100 bpm, indicated by the
flashing red heart on the front panel display. The
tempo can be adjusted in two ways – first by
tapping on the “TAP-MET” switch at the desired
tempo. The Snark will calculate the tempo between
two taps. Or the up / down triangular buttons on
the back can also be used to adjust the tempo. To
exit the metronome function, simply press the power
switch on the front of the tuner.
Power Save Feature
The tuner display will dim after approximately 5
seconds of no sound detected by the tuner. This
conserves battery power. The display will return to
normal brightness when a note is detected. If no notes
are detected for 2 minutes, the tuner will shut off.
Self Test
The Snark tuner occasionally runs a “self test” to
make sure all functions are up to snuff. This could
happen sometimes when you first turn on the tuner. But
not to worry, the self test lasts just a few seconds and
will return you to tuning mode when it is finished.
Installing the Battery
The tuner uses 1 CR2032 (3
volt) battery. To install the
battery, open the battery
drawer, remove the old battery
and replace with fresh one,
taking care that the positive
terminal (+) is directed upwards
when placed in the battery door (plus side toward
back side of tuner). Then gently push the battery
door closed until you feel a slight “click”.
