Battery Level
Check battery charge
1. With Gibson G FORCE off, press On three times. Press Enter.
2. Press the Left button four times (selects the string LED). Press Enter. More lit LEDs =
stronger charge. If only one or two red LEDs are lit, recharge the battery.
3. The status indication occurs rapidly. If you need to see it again, press Enter.
Temporary Global Tuning Offset
Change reference from A=440 Hz to between 434 Hz and 446 Hz
A = 440 Hz is an international tuning standard. However, some orchestras tune to A = 442 Hz or 443 Hz,
and some musicians tune to a higher pitch for a “brighter” sound.
1. With Gibson G FORCE off, press On three times. Press Enter.
2. Press the Left button five times to select the string LED. Press Enter.
3. All string LEDs flash . (If an offset already exists, Gibson G FORCE displays the offset
amount with lit green or red LEDs—see next.)
4. Each Left button raises pitch by 1 Hz press and lights a green LED. Each Right button press
lowers pitch by 1 Hz and lights a red LED.
5. Press Enter to store the offset temporarily.
Note: Gibson G FORCE applies this offset when you tune using the current tuning preset. Loading a new
tuning preset reverts to the 440 Hz standard. To retain the offset until you change it, see the
category, Tuning Offset Mode (Permanent or Temporary) on page 18.
