How to use PolyTune Clip

Chromatic versus

polyphonic tuning

A very simple guitar tuner will only allow you to

tune open strings, one string at a time – e.g. E, A,

d, g, b, and e’ for the standard tuning of a guitar.

PolyTune Clip is a chromatic tuner – meaning it

will detect and allow you to tune all twelve notes

of the scale.

But that’s not all. Other than a traditional tuner,

PolyTune Clip allows you to strum all your in-

strument’s string simultaneously when tuning.

PolyTune Clip will detect which strings need to

be tuned and indicate those strings in its display.

This allows you to tune your instrument much

faster.

Finally, you may have tuned one or all strings on

your instrument differently from standard tuning,

or you may be using a capo to change the play-

able length of the strings.

In all these situation, PolyTune Clip has you co-

vered.

Setting instrument type

(guitar or bass)

By default, PolyTune Clip is set up for tuning gui-

tars. To tune a bass, press and hold the Display

Mode Button for more than 5 seconds. The sec-

ondary display will display “B”.

To return to Guitar Tuning Mode, press and hold

the Display Mode Button for more than five sec-

onds again. The Secondary Display will display

“G”.

The selected instrument type will be stored and

preserved even when you change the battery.

Battery life

Depending on the quality of the button cell lithi-

um battery you are using, you can expect a bat-

tery life of approximately 18 hours. This means

that after inserting a fresh battery, you should

be able to tune your instrument for three minutes

every day for a full year.

PolyTune Clip turns off automatically after 3 min-

utes, but to increase battery life, you might want

to turn it off manually after tuning.
