Installing the battery
When the battery becomes depleted, a
battery symbol (
) will appear on the
display. Immediately replace the battery
with a new one.
1.
Open the battery compartment cover on
the rear of the tuner in the direction of
the arrow.
2.
Insert the battery, making sure to observe
the correct polarity, and then close the
cover.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The AW-LT100V tunes by pick ing up the
vibrations of the instrument. Therefore, attach
the AW-LT100V to the headstock of your
instrument in order to tune it. Additionally, the
AW-LT100V can be freely moved so that the
display is easy to read.
The AW-LT100V may be damaged if you
apply excessive force within its range of
motion, or attempt to move it beyond its
intended range of motion.
Please carefully attach the AW-LT100V to
your instrument. Leaving the AW-LT100V
attached for a long 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.
Tuning procedure
1.
Turn the left shuttle switch upward. Each time you turn the shuttle
switch, the AW-LT100V will be turned on or off.
If the power is left on for approximately 20 minutes without any user
input, it will turn off automatically (Auto power-off function).
2.
If necessary, change the reference pitch (calibration) and tuner mode.
The procedure with the tuner mode set to chromatic (factory default; no
mode indicator,) is described below.
3.
Play a single note on your instrument.
The note name closest to the detected

the correct note name appears in the
display and the meter segments at the
center ( ) light up.

Tuning
Meter indications
when correctly tuned
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.
Setting the tuner mode (*M)
Each time you turn the left shuttle switch downward, the tuner mode
changes, with the current mode shown by the tuner mode indicator.

In the violin and viola modes, the string number closest
to the detected pitch appears to the left of the note name

Reference pitch settings (calibration) (*M)
Each time you turn the right shuttle switch upward (or downward),
the reference pitch (calibration value) increases (or decreases) in 1 Hz
steps.

After turning the left shuttle switch upward to turn on the AW-
LT100V, you can change the brightness of the display by keeping the
left shuttle switch turned upward for approximately 2 seconds.

Auto : The backlight will light brightly when sound is inputted or
when a shuttle switch is operated. When there has been no sound
input or shuttle switch operation for approximately three seconds
after the power has been turned on, the backlight will turn off in
order to prevent the battery from being depleted.
Soft : The backlight will light at a lower level of brightness in order to
prevent the battery from being depleted.
