Getting Started

Important
Before operating the EWI5000, please note the following:
•
Do not bite the mouthpiece too hard—this can damage the vibrato sensor. Use the
mouthpiece cover after using or while carrying the EWI5000.
•
Always touch the grounding plate and octave rollers when playing. These are sensors
which use the performer's body as the ground.
•
Keep the mouthpiece clean before, during, and after using the EWI5000. You can clean its
outer surface with a slightly damp cloth.
1. Power the EWI5000
The EWI5000 is powered by a rechargeable battery. Please note the following about using it:
•
Installation: Use a standard Phillips-head screwdriver (not included) to remove the EWI5000's
battery compartment cover below the Phones output, install the battery, and re-secure the
cover.
•
Charging: Use the included USB cable to connect the EWI5000's USB port to either (A) the
included USB power adapter, connected to a power source or (B) an available USB port on
your computer (powered on). You can charge the battery while using the EWI5000.
•
Battery life: Check the battery life by pressing and holding the Level Button and then pressing
and holding the FX Button. The amount of battery life (00–99) will appear in the display.
•
Low-battery warning: When the battery power is low, the Preset LED or User LED will blink
to indicate that you should charge the battery.
•
Auto-power-off: If the EWI5000 detects no activity for approximately 10 minutes, it will power
off automatically. In general, though, power off the EWI5000 to preserve its battery life when
you are not using it.
2. Hold the EWI5000
1. Secure the neck strap to the EWI5000's neck strap mount.
2. Place the strap around your neck and hold the EWI5000 in the same way
you would hold a saxophone or clarinet, with the instrument vertically right in
front of you.
3. When playing, place your left thumb on the octave rollers in the back, and
place your right thumb on the grounding plate between the pitch-bend
plates. This will ensure the best possible conductivity and performance of
the instrument.
