The AROMA AT-01A is a portable, clip-on tuner for stringed instruments. It is designed for tuning guitar, bass, ukulele, and violin, and can be used for other instruments with a standard 440Hz pitch range. The AT-01A has a 360-degree rotatable, double-colour backlit LCD screen, which displays the instrument selected, the note the string is tuned to, and an in-tune indicator meter. The tuner is powered by a CR2032 battery and automatically turns off if there is no signal present after 3 minutes.

How to attach the Aroma AT-01A tuner to your instrument

The Aroma AT-01A is a clip-on tuner, which can be attached to a variety of stringed instruments, including guitars, basses, violins, and ukuleles. The tuner is designed to be clipped onto the headstock, scroll, or pegboard of your chosen instrument.

To attach the Aroma AT-01A tuner to your instrument, first, press and hold the button to turn on the tuner. Once it is turned on, you can release the button. Next, press the button again to select the tuning mode that matches your instrument: chromatic, guitar, bass, violin, or ukulele.

Now you can attach the tuner to your chosen instrument. The Aroma AT-01A has a clip-on design, which makes it easy to fix onto any stringed instrument. Simply open the tuner's clip and attach it to the headstock, scroll, or pegboard of your instrument, ensuring that it is secure and won't slip off during use.

Once the tuner is attached, you can begin tuning your instrument. Play a single note, and the tuner will display the string number and the note name for guitar, bass, violin, and ukulele modes. For chromatic mode, the display will only show the note name. The backlight will indicate whether the note is in tune—if it is, the meter will be centered and the backlight will turn green. If the note is out of tune, the meter will show if it is flat or sharp, and the backlight will remain blue.

You can now adjust your instrument's tuning until the meter is centered and the backlight turns green, indicating that the note is in tune. Repeat this process for each string on your instrument.

Tuning a guitar with the Aroma AT-01A

Tuning a guitar is essential for beginners and professionals alike. The Aroma AT-01A is a clip-on tuner that can be used to tune a guitar. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to tune a guitar using the Aroma AT-01A:

Step 1: Power on the Tuner

Press and hold the button on the Aroma AT-01A to turn it on. The tuner will now be ready to detect the notes from your guitar.

Step 2: Select the Tuning Mode

After powering on the tuner, press and release the button to select the tuning mode. For a guitar, select the (G)uitar mode. You can also use this tuner for other instruments like the bass, violin, or ukulele by selecting the appropriate mode.

Step 3: Attach the Tuner to Your Guitar

The Aroma AT-01A is designed to be clipped onto your guitar easily. Clip the tuner onto the headstock of your guitar. Make sure it is securely attached and within your line of sight for easy viewing.

Step 4: Play a Single Note

Start by playing a single note on your guitar. You can begin with the low E string, which is the thickest string. Pluck the string and let the tuner detect the pitch.

Step 5: Adjust the Tuning

The Aroma AT-01A tuner will display the string number and the note name. It will also indicate whether the string is in tune, low, or high. If the string is out of tune, adjust the corresponding tuning key on the headstock of your guitar.

Turn the tuning key away from you to tighten the string and raise its pitch. Conversely, turn the tuning key toward you to loosen the string and lower the pitch. Make small adjustments until the meter on the tuner is centered, and the backlight turns green, indicating that the string is in tune.

Step 6: Repeat for Each String

Move on to the next string and repeat the process. Play the string, observe the tuner's reading, and make adjustments as needed. Continue this process for all six strings of your guitar.

Additional Tips:

• The Aroma AT-01A tuner will automatically power off after 3 minutes of inactivity to save battery.
• Remember to tune your guitar each time you play. Guitars can easily go out of tune due to changes in temperature, humidity, and even from regular play.
• Keep your guitar in a cool, dry place, and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or drafts.
• Regularly change your guitar strings, as old strings can affect the tuning and sound quality.

Now, you can begin tuning your violin. Play a single note on your violin by plucking or strumming one of the strings. The display on the AT-01A will show the string number and the note name.
