According to a salesperson at Sweetwater (through whom I purchased the unit from on that auction site), the left arrow is the pure minor third and is closer to zero. The right arrow represents the pure major third. Instruments tune to these "arrows" to create harmonies when playing in ensembles.

IMO, Caroline is correct when she stated: "by far the best tuner is a good pair of ears." However, one of the items mentioned about the tuner was "ear training". So, perhaps, by tuning instruments (or voices) to these minor and major third interval arrows, one can "train the ear" as to what the harmony should sound like.
