Installing the battary
Make sure to turn the power off before you install or replace the battery.

The Dolcetto-V will continue to function for a while
longer, but tuning will become less accurate. Replace
the battery as soon as possible.
1. While lightly pressing on the battery holder on
the back of the Dolcetto-V, in direction
the part marked A, pull it in direction
remove the battery holder.
2. Making sure to observe the correct polarity, in-
sert the battery so that the "+" side of the battery
is visible.
3. Return the battery holder to its original position.
Backlight
The backlight will illuminate brightly when sound is input, the metronome is
activated or when a button is pressed.
When there has been no user input for approximately three seconds on tuner, the
backlight will dim slightly in order to prevent the battery from being depleted.
Switching between the tuner and metronome
Press the power/function button to switch between the tuner and metronome.
At the same time, the display will switch to the selected function.
Tuning procedure
1. Press the power/function button to turn on the Dolcetto-V and activate the
tuner.
If the power is left on for approximately 20 minutes without any user input,
it will turn off automatically.
To turn off the Dolcetto-V, hold down the power/function button.
2. If necessary, change the tuner mode and calibration settings.
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 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 instru-
ment 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.
Setting the tuner mode (*M)
Each time you press the MODE button, the tuner mode
changes, with the current mode shown by the mode
indicator.

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

Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The Dolcetto-V tunes by picking up the vibrations
of the instrument. Therefore, be sure to attach the
Dolcetto-V to the head stock of your instrument
in order to tune it. In addition, the Dolcetto-V can
be freely moved so that the display is easy to read.
The Dolcetto-V 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 Dolcetto-V to your instru-
ment. Leaving the Dolcetto-V 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.
