Keep this manual
After reading this manual, please keep it for later
reference.
Keeping foreign matter out of your equipment
Never set any container with liquid in it near this
equipment. If liquid gets into the equipment, it
could cause a breakdown, fire, or electrical
shock.Be careful not to let metal objects get into
the equipment.
4 CALIB button
This changes the calibration setting.
Calibration can be set in 1 Hz steps from 430
Hz to 449 Hz.
5 AUTO button
Pressing this button will select AUTO mode,
so that the note name closest to the pitch you
played will automatically be displayed for
tuning.
6 MANL/NOTE button
Pressing this button will select MANUAL mode.
Subsequently, pressing this button additional
times will switch the note name setting.
7 Mic
When tuning acoustic instruments, place this
mic near the portion of the instrument from
which the sound is output.
The mic will not function when the INPUT jack
is connected.
8 Tuning guide LEDs
When the pitch is correct, the middle LED will
light. If the pitch is flat, the left LED will light. If
the pitch is sharp, the right LED will light.
Tuning procedure
1. If you are using an electrical instrument,
connect it to the INPUT jack.
2. Check the calibration display. If you wish to
change the setting, press the CALIB button
the appropriate number of times to make the
desired setting.

4. Play a single note on your instrument, and
tune it so that the desired note name is
displayed.
Then watch the meter display, and make fine
adjustments to the tuning so that the center
LED of the tuning guide is lit. If you are
playing a stringed instrument, use the same
procedure to tune each string.

Troubleshooting
Cannot tune. Or, tuning is difficult.
If you are using an electric instrument, has the
instrument volume been turned down?
Alternatively, has the volume been raised
excessively? Adjust the instrument volume so
that the meter becomes stable.
If you are using an acoustic instrument, try
changing the distance or angle between the
built-in mic (or external mic) and your
instrument.
If the unit malfunctions, and turning the
power OFF and then ON does not
resolve the problem, remove and then
reinstall the battery.
NOTICE
Installing the battery
1. Slide the rear of the case as shown in the
diagram.
2. Insert a 9V battery (6F22 type; S-006P,
sold separately) as shown. Be sure that the
polarity is correct.
3. Slide the case closed.
When the LCD screen becomes dim,
it's time to change the battery.
Basic concepts of tuning
About the Cent display
"Cents" are the smallest relative unit used
to indicate pitch. A semitone consists of
100 cents, and an octave consists of 1200
cents. The CA-10 shows the difference
between the input pitch and the correct
pitch in units of cents. (Since 1 cent is an
extremely small unit, differences of
approximately ± 3 cents will not normally
be a problem.)
Standard pitch and calibration
The tuning of an instrument is expressed
in terms of the frequency of the pitch of
the middle A note on a piano; most
commonly A4=440 Hz. On the CA-10 the
standard pitch (the frequency of A4) can
be adjusted in the range of 430-449 Hz.
Adjusting the standard pitch is referred to
as "calibration."
