Traveler Guitar Escape Mark III - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLING STRINGS:
The Escape Mark III uses standard, acoustic strings. (Factory installed D’Addario EJ-15.) No special tools are
required for string changes.
The tuners operate and are set up like the tuners on a standard guitar. We recommend that you change the
strings one at a time, starting with the low E.
To change, thread the string through the correct hole in the endcap and wrap the string around the roller to
the proper tuner hole. Leave approximately 2 ½ inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4 wraps on the
tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the tuner. Over
or under wrapping the string around the tuner may cause tuning problems.
See videos here and here.
USING THE TUNER:
To use the built-in tuner, simply press the TUNER button to the left of the LEDs. Tune a single string at a
time. The tuner will recognize the closest note and tell you whether the string is too high in pitch (red LED
labeled “H”), too low in pitch (red LED labeled “L”) or in tune (green LED labeled “T”). The tuner is
chromatic and will recognize # notes and denote it by lighting a small dot in the bottom right of the LCD
display.
