On the Finale list we say RTFM, which stands for Read the Finale
Manual, or the Friendly Manual, or ...

Power on.
Press Alt-Clear (to put it in default setting).
Press Chromatic Button (Puts it in Chromatic Mode).
Press Auto often enough (none, once or twice) to put it in Auto Mode.

Display should read:

D4 (or whatever other note)
Chromatic           Auto

Pluck string.
The display will display the closest pitch it's hearing.
Tune up or down till you reach your desired pitch.
If the red lights turn with the clock, you're too high.
If the red lights turn against the clock, you're too low.

If you want 415Hz in stead of the default 440Hz:

Press Alt-A440 Change.
Press Note+ to move up by Hz.
Press Note- to move down by Hz.
Press Cents+ to move up by cents.
Press Cents- to move down by cents.
Finish with Alt.

Display will now show:

D4          A415,0
Chromatic   Auto

Should be straightforward. For other settings: RTFM. ;-)
