I just obtained a PolyTune Clip Black, and need a quick sanity check: The instructions say that it turns off automatically after 5 minutes, but I assumed that this meant it would turn off after 5 minutes of disuse. Mine turns off after 5 minutes, even if I'm actively using it. Is this normal?

I use my Polytune mini 2 for my bass guitar. It works great except for the lowest strings on my 5 string (tuned to drop G). Trying to tune the drop G seems to engage the polyphonic tuning feature, potentially from all the overtones generated from the bass string?

At the moment I tune my lowest string at the 12th fret harmonic but it gets tedious after a while.

I believe being able to disable the polyphonic tuning feature could help me but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help

Hi - I recently (2 months ago) purchased a Polytune Clip (Black). Works great in chromatic tuning but seems to be absolutely no response for polyphonic tuning. When I strum the guitar the screen is blank apart from a green dot top centre. My understanding was that the polyphonic tuning kicks in as soon as you strum - user error or something wrong with the unit?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

• Hi. According to the user manual, the TC Electronic PolyTune Clip Black tuner should be turned off after 3 minutes of being INACTIVE; however the one I bought through Amazon turns off every 3 minutes EVEN when I'm using it so I have to turn it back on which causes inconvenience and delay. I made the query to TC Eectronic Technical Support a few days ago, and they replied that this operation was not normal, that I should try other batteries and that if it continues like this it may be a hardware problem. It happens that on the internet I found 2 videos where you can see the tuner turning off after 3 minutes of use (not being inactive), which leaves me wondering.Could someone confirm if it turned off after 3 minutes of using the tuner -that is, which is not inactive but in use-, is it normal or not? Thank you. Sergio Ramos

Hola. Según el manual del usuario, el sintonizador TC Electronic PolyTune Clip debe apagarse después de 3 minutos de estar INACTIVO; sin embargo, el que compré a través de Amazon se apaga cada 3 minutos, INCLUSO cuando lo estoy usando, por lo que tengo que volver a encenderlo, lo que causa molestias y demoras. Realicé la consulta a Soporte Técnico de TC Eectronic hace unos días, y me contestaron que ese funcionamiento no era normal, que probara con otras baterías y que si seguía así tal vez sea un problema de hardware. Sucede que en internet encontré 2 videos en donde se aprecia al afinador apagarse a los 3 minutos de uso (no estando inactivo), lo que me deja la duda ¿Podría alguien confirmar si ese apagado a los 3 minutos de usar el afinador -es decir que no está inactivo sino en uso-, es o no normal?.
