How do I Transfer Memory from the Liberator to a PC Computer?
Save Vocabulary Using the MTI (Memory Transfer Interface Software) for Windows :
1. Open the Toolbox.
2. All memory transfers should be made with the battery charger plugged in. Connect one end of the battery charger that came with your Liberator to the battery connector on the case. Plug the other end of the battery charger into a working wall outlet.
3. Plug the larger rectangular end of the cable that came with your MTI program into Serial Port 1 on your computer. Plug the small round end into the Serial Port RS232 connector Liberator case.
4. Turn the computer on. Insert the MTI disk into the appropriate drive. Use "Windows Explorer" or right click on "My Computer" and click on "Explore" to go to the drive that has the MTI in it.
5. Double click on "MTI.exe". The MTI screen is visible on your computer monitor.
6. In the MTI "Options" menu, click on the name of the device you are using (i.e., 'Liberator'). You can also change computer serial ports here and select a baud rate if you need to.
7. Go to the Toolbox and open the TRANSFER MEMORY MENU.
There are two screens to the TRANSFER MEMORY MENU.
Screen 1:
Option 1 = save everything in the Liberator's memory onto a disk.
Option 2 = load everything you saved back into the Liberator.
Option 3 = save only what is in a specific user area.
Option 4 = load the area you saved back into an area in the Liberator.
Screen 2:
Option 1 = make a Liberator-to-Liberator memory transfer.
Option 2 = the MTI default baud rate (the speed at which information will be sent to the computer).
Option 3 = load or save menu settings. Default is YES. If you do not want any Liberator settings to be saved, set this to NO before you start a transfer.
If You Choose to Save the Liberator's Entire Contents:
Activate option 1 on screen 1. Then look at your computer screen.
If You Choose to Save One Area:
Activate option 3 on screen 1. The Liberator shows you a menu of areas that are created or can be created. Select the area that you want to save (or load memory into). Then go to your computer. Activate the option you want to perform. If every thing is connected properly, you will see "Save Memory to File" on your computer screen.
8. On your computer, go to the drive/folder where you want to save the Liberator's memory.9. Type in a name for the new file (e.g., LIBMEM1). Click on "Save". The transfer takes place automatically.
Note: If you are using Word Prediction and want to save the Word Prediction Dictionary to a disk, do it now, before exiting from the MTI. Go to the WORD PREDICTION MENU (SYSTEM FUNCTION MENU, screen 5, option 1) and select Option 2 from screen 2 of the Word Prediction Menu.
To Restore Memory to the Liberator:
1. Select one of the "Load " options (#2 or #4 on Screen 1) in the TRANSFER MEMORY MENU in the Toolbox.
2. On your computer, select the Liberator file you want to restore.
3. Click on "Restore".
