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 disinfectant alcohol.
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. While charging, a dot will flash in the EWI5000's display.
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 (0099) 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 Properly
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.
