Hi, Guy, Unless you have a computer with Tuning Manager you cannot change the pitch permenately unless you rekey the tuning into memory. You can change the calibration by tuning A to the desired pitch then turn the machine off then on again a memorize the rotation of the lights then calibrate the SAT until the lights rotate the same. Go back to tune and check the pitch against the tuned string and recalibrate again if needed. This has the disadvantage of having to spend the time to recalabrate the SAT before the next tuning and also it takes a little time to do the calibration to the new pitch. Second you can reset the SAT before going to a page then tune to the new pitch. This has the disadvantage of not being able to pitch raise easily. If you are tuning a piano to 442 then tune the piano 10 cents sharp the first time and 8 cents the second time. If you are tuning to 430 or some such you can increae/decrease the pitch by 25% and get you into the ball park. Have a nice day; it is sonny and clear today in New Jersey. Newton
