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. 

 

 

 

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 (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. 

 

 

 

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.
