Configurar

Instalação da bateria: The UNITUNE CLIP comes with a pre-installed Lithium Metal battery. If replacement is needed, locate the battery compartment on the side of the unit. Gently open the compartment and insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ side up).

Attaching the Tuner: The UNITUNE CLIP is designed to attach securely to the headstock of your instrument. Open the clip by pressing the lever and position it firmly on a non-vibrating part of the headstock. Ensure the display is visible and oriented correctly for your viewing angle. The tuner uses vibrations from the instrument to detect pitch.

Modo estroboscópico: For ultimate precision, the strobe mode provides a highly accurate visual representation of pitch. The rotating patterns on the display will slow down and stop when the note is perfectly in tune. This mode offers ±0.02 cent accuracy.

Manutenção

Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display and body of the tuner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or display.
Substituição da bateria: When the display dims or the tuner becomes unresponsive, it's time to replace the battery. Refer to the "Battery Installation" step in the Setup section. Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Armazenar: Store the UNITUNE CLIP in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent leakage.
