tap-in switch to input tempo. The metronome plays the
selected rhythm at the tempo you have input.
DM100 is equipped with the auto power-off function to prevent the
battery energy from being wasted while the metronome is left untouched
with the power on.
The power will be turned off automatically if the metronome is left
untouched for:

●approximately 5 minutes in the reference note mode.
To use the metronome for an extended period of time, turn on the power
by pressing the power switch while keeping the mode switch
pressed. Flashing “CLA” appears on the liquid crystal display to
