Operation of the RM-2
Step Down ( )
Step Down mode is designed to begin at a fast pace and gradually slow thus building

BPM) after every eight measures. This will continue until the metronomes minimum tempo
is achieved.

the [ ] button when it reaches the desired tempo. To clear the minimum tempo,
press the [ ] button (initial value: 10).
Step Up/Down ( )
Step Up/Down mode is designed to increase playing endurance by slowly increasing and
decreasing the speed of the metronome. In this mode, the metronomes tempo will increase
by five beats per minute (5 BPM) after every eight measures until it reaches the metronomes
maximum tempo. After the maximum tempo is achieved, the metronomes tempo will
decrease by five beats per minute (5 BPM) after every eight measures. This will continue

Timer ( )
The timer is a simple mode where an interval of time is set to play. Although simple, its
flexible nature allows the timers capabilities to provide a variety of useful practicing
exercises. It can build speed by playing very quickly in a short amount of time, or build
endurance by playing for a long period of time.
1. In the Coach mode, use the [ ] or [ ] button to select one of the timing options.
: 1 minute : 10 minutes
: 2 minutes : 15 minutes
: 3 minutes : 30 minutes
: 5 minutes : 60 minutes

3. The last minute will display a 60 second count down followed by an alarm and flashing lights
to signal the end of the timing period.
While the Timer is working, you cannot try any other Coach mode exercise.
You can use the [SELECT] button to change things such as the BEAT and
RHYTHM TYPE.
If you stop the metronome in any mode other than Coach, the timer will continue
working. In that case, the [COACH] indicator flashes, indicating that the timer is
still working. If you want to stop the timer, press the [METRONOME] button in
the Coach mode.
