Welcome DB... If your battery light comes on when you press the 'Tuner' button? It is supposed to do that.
If your battery light just flashes, your battery is dying.

Have you plugged the guitar into an amp?

Anyway... When you look into the sound-hole, or reach in there, you will find two wires going to the back of the can. The little thin wire comes from the pick-up. That must be there for the tuner to work. The larger wire is to the jack, it must be there for the amp to work.
But they should both be there.


[That is inside of my CK047]

Thank you Arthur...
Even with a new battery the light flashes. It looks like I bought a lemon. Will I ever learn?

Here are some Manuals on file at Ovation Tribute
Just click the window that sez 'Ovation Archives' then click 'Owner's Manual'

While you are there, search around. Jerome created this and it is full of knowledge.
Plus nifty photos.
