Operations 

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your Tuning Set CTS-5. It will make the tuning of all kinds of 

musical instruments much easier. Part 1 of these operating instructions contains general 

information about the Tuning Set. Part 2 gives examples on how to learn the most important 

functions, and part 3 is for those of you who want to know all about this Tuning Set. 

 

1.1 Power 

The Tuning Set is equipped with 4 rechargeable NiMH batteries (1.2 Volt 2000 mAh). The 

operating period with one battery charge lasts approx. 12 hours. When the batteries are low, the 

indicator "LOW BAT" appears in the LC-display. In order to avoid deep discharge of the 

batteries, the device will automatically shut off. The battery can be recharged with the supplied 

plug-in transformer. The batteries are fully recharged after approx. 14 hours. When the plug-in 

transformer is connected, the yellow charge control LED is lit. When the batteries are fully 

charged, the transformer will not automatically shut down. Therefore, the tuning device should 

be disconnected after the charge. The instrument can be operated without risk during the 

recharging process. 
Should the operating period with one battery charge decrease at some point to much less than  

8 hours, the following may have occurred: 
1.  The battery set is defect. Measure to be taken: Install new batteries. 
2.  The plug-in transformer is defect. Measure to be taken: Replace the transformer.  

(7.5 Volt (min) 400 mA DC stabilized, hollow plug 5 x 2 mm plus outside) 

3.  The Tuning Set is defect. Measure to be taken: The charger and Tuning Set should be sent 

in for maintenance.  

If you constantly use the device with the plug-in transformer connected, it is advisable to 

remove the batteries to avoid permanent-charging damage.

Please use only rechargeable NiMh batteries. Non-Rechargeable Batteries are leaking 
when the AC adapter is plugged in. The acid will destroy the device. 

Remove back cover. 

 

 

 

Replace batteries and pay attention to the 

correct polarity.
