PIK-70O
SIX-NOTE AUTOTUNER
Congratulations. You have purchased the very best six-note
manual tuner available! Your Sabine PIK-700 Six-Note Auto
Tuner provides the same easy-to-use tuning display and ad-
vanced tuning algorithm that was previously available only on
our bestselling Chromatic AutoTuners. The PIK-700 is ideal for
tuning all guitars, basses, banjos, mandolins, and violins.
FEATURES
Easy-To-Read Display Your PIK tuner replaces the delicate meter
and needle display found on most six-note tuners with a rugged solid-
state LED array. The LED display provides the same continuous indication of tuning error by varying the LED
blink rate. LEDs are much easier to read than meters, especially in the dark and from a distance. Additionally,
LEDs do not introduce angle-of-view errors.
Automatic Note Sensing: Your PIK-700 automatically senses the pitch you are playing and indicates if the
tone is closest to an "E", "A", "D". "G", "B", or high "E".
Automatic Recalibration Your PIK-700 can be recalibrated to match the pitch of any reference instrument with
the touch of a button.
Automatic Sleep Mode Battery Saver The PIK tuner turns itself off after 10 minutes of quiet. This prevents the
battery from discharging unnecessarily if you accidentally forget to turn it off.
Low Battery Indicator Your PIK tuner continuously monitors its battery whenever the power is on. If the voltage
falls below an acceptable level, the three tuning indicator lights blink simultaneously once per second.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUNING:
1. Press The Power Selector To Turn On Your Tuner
Acoustic instrument tones are detected by a very sensitive internal microphone. It is generally not advanta-
geous to play loudly, except in very noisy rooms. Plucking the string once per second with medium loudness
usually gives the best results.
Electronic instruments should be plugged into the tuner’s input jack labeled INST with a standard guitar cord.
The internal mic automatically disconnects so that the tuner will not pick up extraneous background noise. You
may connect your tuner’s AMP jack to any amplifier’s or PA system’s input so that you can tune as you play.
2. Select The Note You Wish To Tune
When you turn on your tuner, the low “E” LED lights up, indicating that the tuner is ready to tune your low “E”
string. Select different notes to tune by pressing the NOTE selector.
3. Pluck The Selected String
4. Slowly Adjust The Instrument’s Pitch Until The “In Tune” Light Is Lit
Note that the Sharp and Flat indicators blink rapidly when the tone is far from being in tune and blink slower and
slower as the tone approaches being IN TUNE. Repeat the procedure until the entire instrument is tuned.
