Needle Mode
In Needle Mode, a single string’s pitch is indicated by a column of five LEDs
in the MAIN DISPLAY, and the target pitch’s name appears in the SECONDARY
DISPLAY. Tune the string until the column of LEDs are centered and “on target”
(left = flat; right = sharp).
Strobe Mode
In Strobe Mode, a single string’s pitch has two indicators:
- Red LEDS to the left (flat) or right (sharp) of the center LED column
- “Rotating” segments in the display.
Tune the string until the rotating segments slow down and stop, and only the center column of LEDs lights up.
Changing Reference Pitch
- Press REFERENCE TONE button. The display will show the current reference pitch (e.g., “440” for 440 Hz).
- To increase the reference pitch in 1 Hz steps, press the REFERENCE TONE button.
- To decrease the reference pitch in 1 Hz steps, press the DISPLAY MODE button.
- To store the currently-displayed reference pitch, refrain from pressing either button for 2 seconds. The set reference pitch will blink 3 times.
