1. Gently press down and slide the battery case cover on the rear panel of the Tuner to remove it.

2. Properly orient the batteries and insert them into the unit. (Alkaline batteries recommended)

Installing batteries

Before you install or replace the batteries on your Tuner or Transmitter, be sure to turn off the power to both the transmitter as well as the tuner. The batteries that are included are intended to allow you to check functionality and may have a short life. If the batteries for the Tuner or Transmitter are low on power, the low battery indicator will appear on the LCD display of the Tuner. Both units will continue to work for a while, but tuning may not be accurate. Please replace the batteries with new ones as soon as possible.

3. Reattach the battery cover on the Tuner.

Please don’t charge an alkaline battery.

Installing batteries in the Transmitter

CR2032 batteries that are compatible with the Transmitter CR2032 batteries made by Panasonic

1. Remove the clip that’s attached to the

Transmitter, then gently press down and slide the battery case cover on the near panel of the Transmitter to remove it. 2. Properly orient the battery and insert it into the unit.

To remove the clip or strap, hold the Transmitter securely and slide the clip or strap while holding it by its sides.

When you attach the clip do not touch the connectors on the Transmitter. Do not pull the clip by grasping the pinching portion of the clip. Otherwise, the clip or strap may break. When you attach the clip or strap, be sure to slide it in all the way until it is locked, then make sure that it’s secure.

3. Reattach the battery cover on the Transmitter.

Attaching and removing the supplied clip/strap on the

Insert the clip or strap into the clip attachment groove on the Transmitter and slide it in all the way. Make sure that you insert the clip or strap in the correct orientation.

Attaching the Transmitter to your musical instrument

The Wi-Tune measures the pitch of a musical instrument by sensing vibrations from the instrument. These vibrations are picked up by the Transmitter, and wirelessly transmitted to the Tuner. However, depending where the Transmitter is attached to the instrument, the vibrations may not be picked up very well. In this case, try repostioning the Transmitter to pick up these vibrations better. The Transmitter can be attached to musical instruments such as woodwind, brass or strings instruments. With some musical instruments, such as a saxophone, you can attach the Transmitter to a strap or other part that vibrates, rather than directly to the instrument itself. Please refer to the attachment position examples that are shown in the figures to the right.

When you clip the Transmitter to or remove it from the musical instrument, handle it gently. Attaching the Transmitter to the musical instrument for a long period of time may leave a trace on the instrument.

Applying excessive force to the Transmitter or clip may cause damage.

Transmitter attachment position examples

Using the Tuner stand

1. Gently press down and slide the cover on the right side of the Tuner to remove it.

2. Slide the Transmitter into the Tuner so that the Transmitter will lock into the Tuner’s connector. 3. Turn on the power to the Transmitter and Tuner.

Setting the ID after replacing the Transmitter

The ID setting data is shared by the Tuner and Transmitter. This is done to prevent signal scramble during wireless communication. An ID was programmed into the Tuner and Transmitter supplied in this Wi-Tune package before they shipped from the factory. If you are using a different Transmitter (that was not included in this package), you must set the ID on that Transmitter.

You can do this while the power to each unit is turned on.

When the transmission of the ID data from the

Transmitter to the Tuner is complete, the ID indicator will light up on the LCD. 4. After the ID data is transmitted, remove the Transmitter from the Tuner. The ID indicator on the LCD will turn off. If multiple Wi-Tune units are used in the same location, the tuning meter may not respond to the proper instrument, or an incorrect note name may be displayed. In such cases, resetting the ID will restore communication between the Transmitter and Tuner. If there is no input sound for 20 minutes while the Transmitter is turned on, or if the Transmitter and Tuner cannot communicate with each other for two minutes, the power will automatically be turned off.

Turning the power on and off

1. Press the [POWER] button on the Tuner and Transmitter to turn the power on and off. If there is no input sound for 20 minutes while the Tuner is turned on, the power will automatically be turned off.

1. Press the [BACK LIGHT] button. The LCD backlight will turn on. Pressing the [BACK LIGHT] button will turn the LCD backlight on and off.

Once the power to the Tuner and Transmitter is turned on and communication becomes possible, the built-in microphone of the Tuner will turn off, enabling you to use the wireless function. At this time, the wireless indicator will appear on the LCD.

Tuning via wireless microphone

You can use the built-in microphone on the Tuner by only turning on the power to the Tuner. At this time, the MIC indicator on the LCD will turn on. Once wireless tuning is enabled, the Tuner will maintain wireless tuning mode even if it is unable to receive a signal because the power to the Transmitter is turned off, the batteries on the Transmitter are exhausted, or the Transmitter is moved outside the range of communication. If you want to switch the Tuner to microphone tuning mode, turn off the power to both the Tuner and Transmitter, then turn on the power to the Tuner only.

Meter mode enables you to tune your instrument by looking at the meter and using the

Transmitter or the built-in microphone of the Tuner. In this mode, you can perform either wireless tuning or tuning with the built-in microphone of the Tuner.

1. Press the [CALIB UP] button or the [CALIB DOWN] button to select the reference pitch.

You can adjust the reference pitch in 1Hz steps in the range of 410Hz to 480Hz. 2. Play a single note on your musical instrument to tune. The Tuner displays the name of the note closest to the recognized pitch. Tune your instrument so that the Tuner displays the note name that you are turning to. 3. Play a single note again and tune your instrument so that the tuning guide indicator (the center of the meter) will turn on. When you are using the Tuner’s built-in microphone for tuning, try to avoid allowing sounds from sources other than the instrument to be picked up by the microphone. Even within the measurable range, a note with lots of harmonics or a quick decay may not be measurable (e.g., especially notes in the extreme bass or treble range of the piano).

To raise a pitch by a pure major 3rd or a pure minor 3rd, adjust the tuning so that the meter needle will point to the pure major or minor 3rd mark respectively. For example, if you want to raise the note of A

(0 cent) by a pure major 3rd, first tune your instrument so that the display will indicate the note name C#, then fine-tune the instrument so that the meter needle will point the down arrow ▼ (–13.7 cents) on the left side of the meter. If you want to raise the note of A (0 cent) by a pure minor 3rd, tune your instrument so that the display will indicate note name C, then fine-tune the instrument so that the meter needle will point the up arrow ▼ (+15.6 cents) on the right side of the meter.

2. Press the [SOUND UP] or [SOUND DOWN] button to select the name of the note that you want to tune to.

You can select a pitch in the range of C4 (261.63Hz) to C5 (523.25Hz). 3. Tune your instrument while referring to the oscillator sound at the reference pitch output from the Tuner. 4. To exit Sound-out mode, press the [SOUND] button.

In this mode, you can tune your instrument by referring to the oscillator sound at the reference pitch (output from the speaker of the Tuner). 1. Press the [SOUND] button to engage sound-out mode.
