Don't try to memorize the key sequences in the examples. Try to understand the operation of 
the Tuning Set by tracing the example steps on the diagram.  
Note the arrow in the lower, right hand corner of the LC-Display: 
When this arrow appears, the keys ">" and "<"are 
used for mode selection. You are then at the highest 
operating level of the diagram for operation modes.  
The text in the display then shows you what you may do with the keys "<" and ">", after you 
have depressed the key "E": 
 
>1< TUNING 

Select a tone 

>2< PITCH 

Select the standard pitch 

>3< CENTMESS 

Measuring or adjustment of a tone in cent 

>4< TEMPERATURE 

Select a historical temperament 

>5< STRETCHING 

Select a piano stretching 

>6< MEMORY 

Storage of one piano tuning or one historical temperament. 

>7< PIANYZER 

Create an individual piano tuning 

 
Pressing the key "E" makes the arrow disappear. The Tuning Set is now in the selected mode. 

With the keys "<" and ">" you can now carry out your previously selected mode. 
By pressing the key "E" again you enter the next user mode.  
If the arrow will reappear, you have left the mode. With the keys "<" and ">" you may select a 

new mode of operation. The input or adjustment made within a mode will remain intact after you 

exit the mode. 
A special case ist the mode number 6 (MEMORY). This mode you only can leave by tapping 

both keys "S" and "E".  
All inputs or adjustments made in the operation modes will not be erased by turning the Tuning 

Set on or off.  One exception is the standard pitch, which automatically resets to a1 after the 

Tuning Set is turned on. 

1.5  Erasing all inputs 

Should you have stumbled in your first walking trials, and put in a non desired setting, you may 

return to the original settings contained in the Tuning Set upon delivery: 
Standard pitch: 

440 Hz 

Temperature: Equal 

Temperament 

Stretching: None 
Transpose Function and Cent Relate Function: 

Off 

Operate as follows: 
Turn off the Tuning Set. Simultaneously depress keys "A" 

and "E" with the left hand until you have switched on the 

Tuning Set with your right hand. Continue holding the keys 

until the LC-Display indicates: 
 

1.6 Timer switch 

A timer was installed in the Tuning Set, to save battery power. If you don't use the set for twenty 

minutes, it will automatically turn off. Before shutdown it will set off several short accoustical 

signals. This allows you to prevent shutdown by depressing one of the five keys. If the Tuning 

Set automatically turned off, you may restart it with the on/off lever on the right side by switching 

it off and on. You may turn off the timer completely (see chapter 3.7).
