3.1 Engegada/apagada

Press the power button located on the side of the tuner to turn it on. The tuner will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

3.2 Modes d'afinació

The POLYTUNE CLIP offers three primary tuning modes:

• Polyphonic Mode: Strum all strings simultaneously, and the tuner will display the tuning status of all strings at once. This allows for quick assessment of your instrument's overall tuning.

• Mode cromàtic: Play individual strings, and the tuner will display the note and its tuning accuracy. This mode is ideal for precise tuning of single strings.
• Mode estroboscòpic: For ultimate precision, the strobe mode provides extremely accurate tuning feedback, allowing you to fine-tune your instrument with a +/- 0.02 cent accuracy.

The tuner automatically switches between polyphonic and chromatic modes based on whether you strum all strings or play a single note. Strobe mode can typically be activated or selected via a button press, though specific controls may vary slightly. Refer to the quick start guide included with your product for detailed button functions.
