The following sections explain how to use each of the three tuner modes.

Chromatic tuner mode

This is the default mode.

1With the microphone connected to the MIC IN

jack, sing or play the instrument that you want to tune.

The pitch closest to the frequency of the played note appears at the top of the meter.
