If you have a guitar tuner, you can use that for your mandolin. Set your tuner to auto as opposed to manual, and read the notes G, D, A and E and do not use the B. The G on the guitar is an octave plus one step lower than the A on the mandolin.

The Tenor Mandola (or Mandola) is tuned as a Viola, CGDA, one fifth below a mandolin. Octave Mandolas (also known as Octave Mandolins in America) are popular because of their suitability for Acoustic and Celtic music, being tuned GDAE, an octave below a Mandolin.
