LOADING AUDIO FILES

The recommended method for loading audio to LifeLight is with a Windows application named SaberCopy. SaberCopy

is free to use and may be downloaded from our web site here:

https://megavoice.com/audio-tools/sabercopy-loading-system-for-audio-bibles/

Please download the installation le and user guide for reference. The installation is a typical Windows installation and

takes about 10 seconds.

Once installed, the simplest method for loading is to open the template project for LifeLight as it is already congured

with the recommended settings. (see section “Template Projects” in the user guide)

All you need to do is to specify the audio folder you wish to load on the “Files in Project” tab. SaberCopy will check

your audio against folder and le rules dened for LifeLight on the “Target Device” tab.

To access the onboard memory of the LifeLight and update the contents, a special SLS USB cable must be used. These

cables are only available from MegaVoice.
