Calibrate the Odyssey Tuner
Press the Up or Down buttons on the back (3,4) to calibrate the tuner. Most
instruments are designed to play A=440 Hz (see lower right on your display).
Your Odyssey Tuner can be calibrated A4 = 410 – 490 Hz. This is handy if you
are tuning to a piano that is not in standard pitch or to make stringed instruments
sound a little brighter.
