Thank you for purchasing the SEIKO CHROMATIC TUNER STX5.  Carefully read this instruction manual before 

using your STX5 as proper use is important to ensure the life of the product.  

Store this instruction manual in a place that is readily accessible and refer to it regularly. 

■ Attaching the Tuner

Clip the tuner securely to your instrument and adjust the clip so that you can see 

the screen clearly.  Make sure that adjustments made to the clip are within its 

stipulated range of movement (see drawing). 

The STX5 allows you to tune your 

instrument by detecting vibrations 

generated by your instrument.  If you 

experience difficulty tuning, clip the 

tuner to a different part of your 

instrument or adjust the orientation of 

the clip. 

* Do not exceed the stipulated range of 

movement of the clip.  

* Remove the clip from your instrument when 

not using the tuner.  Leaving the tuner 

clipped to your instrument for a long time 

may result in marking or discoloration of your 

instrument.  

■ Tuning your Instrument

Press the POWER button to turn on your tuner.  When turned on, the last A4 

reference pitch that was set will flash on the indicator.  Press the PITCH button 

to set the reference pitch according to the reference pitch meter .  

The tuner automatically indicates the note closest to the input note and the 

discrepancy between the input note and the note shown on display.  The middle 

(green) lamp of the indicator will light up when the played note is in tune.  

*  Ambient sound or hum noise from electronic appliances may cause the tuner to behave as if 

in use.  This is not a malfunction.  

*  After a short period of tuning or button inactivity while the tuner is turned on, the LCD screen 

will be dimmed incrementally.  The tuner will automatically turn off after about ten minutes of 

inactivity.  This function is provided to extend the life of the battery.  

*  In some cases, instruments that produce harmonic overtones or tones that deteriorate 

quickly may not tune accurately.
