Since the GripTune is small and lightweight, infants may
try to put it in their mouths. Keep the GripTune out of the
reach of infants.
Installing the battery
Make sure to turn the power off before you replace the
battery.
When the battery runs low, the
note name indicator will blink,
and the LED meter will no longer
operate smoothly. Replace the
battery as soon as possible to en-
sure accurate tuning.
1. Slide out the battery tray,
which is combined with the
display.
2. Insert the battery, making sure
to observe the correct polarity.
3. Return the battery tray to its
original position.
Tuning
1. Press the power button to turn on the power. Holding
down the power button for at least one second flips the
indications in the display.
Use of this feature is determined by the physical place-
ment of the GripTune. (i.e. when placed on the rear of a
headstock, or on a left handed guitar/bass, etc.)
2. Play a single note on your guitar or bass.
The display will indicate the name (C, C
♯
, d, d
♯
, E, F, F
♯
, G,
G
♯
, A, A
♯
, b) of the note that is closest to the pitch that you
played.
3. Tune your guitar or bass to make the center of the LED
meter light up.
The left side of the LED meter will light up if your instru-
ment is flat, and the right side will light up if your instru-
mentis sharp.
4. To turn off the power, press the power button.
If approximately ten minutes pass without the GripTune
detecting any sound, the power will turn off automatical-
ly.
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 numbers of overtones or a
sound that has a rapid decay.
The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the
environment; however, this will not affect tuning of the
instrument.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The GripTune tunes by picking up the vibrations of the in-
strument.
For the most accurate tuning, be sure to attach the GripTune
to the head stock of your instrument.
In addition, the display can be moved as shown below, so
that it is easier to read.
110°
The GripTune may be damaged if you apply excessive
force within its range of motion, or attempt to move it be-
yond its intended range of motion.
Please carefully attach the GripTune to your instrument.
Leaving the GripTune attached for a long time may dam-
age or mark the instrument's surface.
Depending on various factors such as agerelated change
or the surface finish, there is a possibility that your instru-
ment may be damaged by attaching this product.
