Installing the battary
Make sure to turn the power off before you install or replace the battery.
When the battery begins to run low, the battery indicator (
The Dolcetto/-T 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/-T, in direction
A, pull it in direction
2
to remove the battery holder.
2. Making sure to observe the correct polarity, insert the
battery so that the "+" side of the battery is visible.
3. Return the battery holder to its original position.
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, 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/-T 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/-T, hold down the power/function button.
2. If necessary, change the calibration and transpose settings.
3. Play a single note on your instrument.
The display will show the name of the note that's closest to the pitch detected. Tune
your instrument to the correct pitch so that the desired note name appears.
4. Once again, play a single note on your instrument 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 (*M)
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

Using the metronome
1. Press the power/function button to activate the metronome.
The metronome starts, and the metronome pendulum will swing left and right ac-
cording to the tempo.
2. Each time you press the power/function button, the
function will cycle between metronome (no sound) →
metronome (sound) → tuner → metronome (no sound)...
At this time, the metronome setting indicators will cycle
between
