Installing the battery

Make sure to turn the power off before you install or replace the battery.
When the battery starts to run low, the battery indicator (
The Slimpitch will continue to function for a while longer, but tuning will
become less accurate. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
1. Slide the battery cover on the back of the Slimpitch in the direction indi-
cated by arrow A, and then lift it up.
2. Making sure to observe the correct polarity, insert the battery so that the
"+" side of the battery is visible.
3. Return the battery cover to its original position.
Using the Slimpitch
You can use the clear cover on the Slimpitch as a stand by rotating it as shown
here.
There is also a magnet built-into the Slimpitch. This allows you to attach
it to the lower part of a metal a music stand etc.
To attach the Slimpitch to music stands that are not magnetic (aluminum, plastic,
etc.), you need to attach the metal plate supplied.
Do not place or store the magnetic section of the Slimpitch near items such as watches,
hard drives, magnetic cards or any other item that can be affected by magnetic fields.
Using the dedicated contact microphone
By connecting the dedicated contact microphone to the INPUT jack and attach-
ing the clip to your instrument, you can eliminate the influence of surrounding
noises when tuning your instrument.
Please carefully attach the contact microphone to your instrument. Leaving the
Slimpitch attached for a long period of time may damage or mark the instrument's
surface.
Depending on various factors such as age-related change or the surface finish, there
is a possibility that your instrument may be damaged by attaching this product.

) is displayed.
Do not apply excessive force to the base of the contact microphone. Otherwise, it
could be disconnected.
Backlight
The backlight will illuminate brightly when sound is input or when a button
is pressed.
When there has been no user input for approximately three seconds on the
tuner, the backlight will dim slightly in order to prevent the battery from be-
ing depleted.
To tune your instrument by using the dedicated contact microphone supplied,
connect it to the INPUT jack on the Slimpitch.
When nothing is connected to the INPUT jack, tuning is performed using the
built-in microphone.
Tuning procedure
1. Press the power button. The power will turn on/off each time you press
this button.
If the power is left on for approximately 20 minutes without any user input,
it will turn off automatically.
2. If necessary, change the calibration and transpose settings according to
your needs.
3. Play a single note on your instrument.
The display will show the name of the note that's closest to the pitch de-
tected. Tune your instrument to the correct pitch so that the desired note
name appears.
4. Once again, play a single note on your in-
strument and adjust the tuning so that the
center segment of the meter (indicated by )
is lit up.
An indicator toward the right will light up if
the pitch is too high, and an indicator toward
the left will light up if the pitch is too low.
If you want to tune to a pure major third or pure minor third above a certain
note, adjust the pitch to the pure major or minor third marks on the meter.
For example if you want to tune to a pure major third above A, make the
#
note name indicator read C , and tune so that the meter indicates the left [ ].
Alternatively, if you want to tune to a pure minor third above A, make the
note name indicator read C, and tune so that the meter indicates the right [ ].
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.
Calibration (reference pitch) settings
Press the CALIB [ ] or [ ] button to change the setting within the range of 410
Hz to 480 Hz in 1 Hz steps. Hold down the button to increase or decrease the
setting continuously
Transpose
(*M)
This function is for tuning a transposing instrument. Each time you press the
TRANS button, the setting will cycle between F → B
tion; the TRANSPOSE indicator will not appear) → F...
