The CT16 uses one CR2032, 3-volt, lithium battery. To in-
stall or replace the battery, slide the battery door located
on the back of the tuner until the compartment opens.
Place the battery in the compartment, ensuring that the
positive (+) terminal is facing up (towards you). Replace
the battery cover, until it clicks into place.
The tuner display will dim
when the battery is low.
At this point, the battery
is depleted and should
be replaced as soon as
possible.

Attaching the CT16
Attach the CT16 tuner to your instrument using the in-
tegral clip. Use care when attaching the tuner to your in-
strument. Leaving the CT16 attached to your instrument
for a long period of time may hurt or mar the nish. It is
recommended that you remove the tuner when nished
playing, or when storing your instrument. If the rubber
pads are missing or broken, do not attach the tuner to
your instrument. For stringed instruments, clip the tuner
onto the headstock of the instrument. The tuner can be
positioned on either the front or back of the headstock.
For other instruments, you may want to experiment to
determine optimal positioning. The position of the tuner
will depend on the type of instrument.
