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 (
) will light up.
The PitchHawk-U will continue to function for
a while longer, but tuning will become less ac-
curate. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
1. While lightly pressing in direction
part marked A of the battery holder on the
back of the PitchHawk-U, 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 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.
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 3 minutes without any user
input, it will turn off automatically.
2. If necessary, change the tuner mode, 4ST/6-8ST and calibration (refer-
ence pitch) 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 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.
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.
Tuner mode and 4ST/6-8ST settings (*M)
1. Each time you press the MODE button, the tuner mode changes, with
the current mode shown by the mode indicator.

Calibration (reference pitch) settings (*M)
Each time you press the CALIB button, the calibration value (reference pitch)
increases in 1 Hz steps. The setting range is between 436 and 445 Hz. Hold
down the button for at least one second to reset the calibration to 440 Hz.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The PitchHawk-U tunes by picking up the vibrations of the instrument.
Therefore, be sure to attach the PitchHawk-U to the head stock of your
instrument in order to tune it. In addition, the PitchHawk-U can be freely
moved so that the display is easy to read.
The PitchHawk-U 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 PitchHawk-U to your instrument. Leaving the Pitch-
Hawk-U 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.
