**Available ToneWoodAmp Mode - Sleep**

**Global Settings: Sleep Mode

Using an accelerometer, much like those in a smartphone or tablet, the ToneWoodAmp automatically detects when the guitar is placed vertically on a stand and can enter a sleep state to extend battery life. When you pick up your guitar, the ToneWoodAmp wakes up and uses its last used settings.

To put the ToneWoodAmp in a sleep state to save batteries while not in use:  
1. **Combo-click Effects and Parameters. Settings will appear on the display.  
  
**2. **Turn the Effects knob clockwise until you see Sleep.  
  
**3. **Click the Effects knob again, and turn the knob to change the amount of time before the ToneWoodAmp goes into Sleep mode after being placed on a stand.  
  
**You can select 10–90 seconds in increments of 10, or No Sleep to not use the function.

4. **Click the Effects knob again to select and save.  
  
**NOTE: Sleep mode disables automatically when the ToneWoodAmp is connected to an amp or PA system.

WARNING: If your guitar has a battery-powered preamp and is plugged into a ToneWoodAmp, the preamp will remain active even if the ToneWoodAmp is powered off. Since this will drain the battery, we recommend disconnecting the 1⁄4-in cable from the guitar when it is not being played.**
