## Questions & Answers

**Q: what kind of batteries does the tuner take?**
A: This tuner (PW-CT-17CBK) has one lithium CR2032 battery included.

**Q: Does it tune accurately on electric bass guitars?**
A: Yes it does work great even with low “B” on the 5 string

**Q: Where does it clip on a bass? Can you tune it with finger picking, or do you have to use a bow?**

A: I never see #.  I turn it on, clip it onto bridge and tune.
