Welcome!
My recommendations:
a) Get a good delay/reverb unit if you don't have one.
b) Use the magical built in chorus.
c) Change the battery as soon as possible. I don't know about the CZ5000 but it's probably similar to the CZ-1 (it uses a standard CR2032 or CR2025, I think in a standard holder).
d) Enjoy the great warmth and expressiveness of this instrument.

Hello,
this my first post here, I'm a newbie to the CZ world, picked up a CZ5000 for almost nothing.
To cut it short, she was in kind of a rough shape but now she's clean and running, sounds (plus weighs) like a ton of fun.
My question is, what should I do next? I may change the LCD screen to a backlit one in the future, but first I need advice on the batteries.
Which are the best? How long they usually last? Does the machine sends a signal (I guess not) when they need to be changed? Is there a way to permanently change the main MIDI channel to another number?
Any help is welcome!
