Parts of the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B
Installing the battery
When the battery becomes depleted, a battery indicator ( ) will appear on the display. Immediately replace the battery with a new one.
- Open the battery compartment cover on the rear of the tuner in the direction of the arrow.
- Insert the battery, making sure to observe the correct polarity, and then close the cover.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B tunes by picking up the vibrations of the in-strument. Therefore, attach the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B to the headstock of your instrument in order to tune it. Additionally, the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B can be freely moved so that the display is easy to read.
- The AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B may be damaged if you apply excessive force within its range of motion, or attempt to move it beyond its in-tended range of motion.
- Please carefully attach the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B to your instrument. Leaving the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B attached for a long time may damage or mark the instrument’s surface.
- Depending on various factors such as age-related change or the sur-face finish, there is a possibility that your instrument may be damaged by attaching this product.
Tuning
Tuning procedure
-
Turn the left shuttle switch upward. Each time you turn the shuttle switch, the AW-LT100G/AW-LT100B will be turned on or off.
If the power is left on for approximately 3 minutes without any user input, it will turn off automatically (Auto power-off function). -
If necessary, change the reference pitch (calibration) and meter mode.
-
Play a single note on your instrument.
- The note name closest to the detected pitch appears in the note name indicator. Check that the correct note name appears in the display, and then tune your instrument while watching the meter.
- The tuning indications differ depending on the selected meter mode setting.
- Even if the pitch is within the range of detection, it may not be possible to detect the pitch of an instrumental sound that contains large num-bers of overtones or a sound that has a rapid decay.
- The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the environment.
Reference pitch settings (calibration) (M)
Each time you turn the right shuttle switch upward (or downward), the
reference pitch (calibration value) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz steps.
Setting the meter mode (M)
Each time you turn the left shuttle switch downward, the meter mode changes.
- Regular ¬ Strobe ¬ Half strobe ¬ Regular …
Regular meter
Tune your instrument until the meter segments up to the center ( ) light up.
If the pitch is sharp, meter segments up to the right of the center light up.
If the pitch is flat, meter segments to the left of the center light up.
Strobe meter
Tune your instrument until the meter segments stop running. Since the strobe
meter has higher precision, it allows you to tune with greater accuracy. The
illumination will flow from left to right if the note is sharp, or from right
to left if the note is flat.
Half-strobe meter
Tune your instrument until the meter segment at the center ( ) lights up. If
the pitch is sharp, meter segments to the right of the cen-ter light up. If
the pitch is flat, meter segments to the left of the center light up.
Backlight
After turning the left shuttle switch upward to turn on the AW-LT100G/AW-
LT100B, you can change the brightness of the display by keeping the left
shuttle switch turned upward for approximately 2 seconds.
Auto: The backlight will light brightly when sound is inputted or when a
shuttle switch is operated. When there has been no sound in-put or shuttle
switch operation for approximately three seconds after the power has been
turned on, the backlight will turn off in order to prevent the battery from
being depleted.
Soft: The backlight will light at a lower level of brightness in order to
prevent the battery from being depleted.
Specifications
M Settings are remembered even when the power is off.
