2.1 Te Wetewete me te Tirotiro Tuatahi

Carefully remove the metronome from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage. Ensure all components, including the dust cover and pendulum, are present.

2.2 Winding the Metronome

The LEKATO Mechanical Metronome is spring-wound and does not require batteries. To wind it, locate the winding key on the side of the unit. Turn the key clockwise until you feel resistance. Do not overwind.

2.3 Adjusting Tempo

The tempo is adjusted by sliding the pendulum weight up or down the pendulum rod. Slide the weight up for a slower tempo (fewer BPM) and down for a faster tempo (more BPM). Align the top edge of the weight with the desired BPM marking on the scale.

2.4 Setting Rhythm Patterns

The metronome features a beat selector to choose different rhythm patterns (e.g., 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8). This selector is typically a small lever or knob on the side of the metronome. Set it to '0' for no bell accent, or to the desired beat count for an audible accent on the first beat of each measure.

2.5 Timata me te Whakamutu

To start the metronome, gently push the pendulum to one side and release it. To stop, gently catch the pendulum and secure it in its resting position, often by sliding the pendulum weight to the top of the rod or engaging a brake mechanism if present.

Step-by-step guide on how to use the metronome: remove cover, rotate clockwork, select beat, adjust pendulum weight, move out pendulum, push pendulum to left and release. — Figure 3: Step-by-step guide on how to prepare and use the metronome, including removing the cover, winding the clockwork, selecting the beat, adjusting the pendulum weight, and starting the pendulum swing.
