Battery Installation

The SC-1 runs on one CR2032 coin-cell

battery. To install, turn the tuner around

so that its rear is facing you , remove the

battery cradle from the right edge, place

the battery in the cradle so that the side of

the battery marked + is facing up. Slide

the loaded cradle back into the tuner. A

battery icon will appear when the battery

is nearing depletion.

Getting Started

For normal operation, no special

adjustment is needed to use with any

string or wind instrument. After installing

the battery, attach the StroboClip to the

headstock or scroll of an instrument in the

case of a stringed instrument or the bell or

lead pipe of a wind instrument. Pressing

the ON button activates the tuner. The

note being tuned appears on the lower

part of the screen in the center. The

strobe bands scroll to the left to indicate a

flat note and to the right to indicate a

sharp note. When the image is stabilized

or c aged the note is in tune to 0.1 cent

accuracy (1/10th of one cent).

Strobe Newbie?

If you are new to strobe tuners, you will

notice that they are much more sensitive

and accurate than your previous tuner.

This may mean that you’ll need to adjust

your “touch“ when you pluck a string to

tune.

Instead of a plectrum, use your finger or

thumb to gently pluck the string.

Factory Default Settings

Choosing NOR/SUSTAIN Mode

For instruments with a very brief voice,

the StroboClip features a unique

SUSTAIN mode which extends the screen

display time beyond the actual duration of

tuning some instruments.

To activate, press the MENU button until

NOR appears, press the + button to

activate sustain mode (SUS).

To deactivate, press MENU until SUS

appears, then press the – button to return

to normal mode (NOR).

StroboClip even after it has been turned off, but will reset
