GOLDEN HARVEST V3 PHASE 4 USERGUIDE
Your new Golden Harvest Neopixel lightsaber comes with some Saber Duel pre-set favorites to get you started right
away, however, we know you will want to explore the infinite amount of colors, blade effects, and sound font
combinations this powerful board has to offer. Below are the instructions to make your experience much more
enjoyable with your own customizations. Follow these instructions in numerical order to tweak the basics before
setting the more detailed customizations such as color, blade effects, and sound fonts.
1. First, wake the saber from Deep-Sleep mode by tapping the button once. The saber sound you will hear is directly
related to the sound font it is currently set to.
2. Press and hold the button while making a stabbing motion outward and release the button. The blade will ignite
and check the power level. Our sabers are shipped fully charged but may be at only 90% to 80% upon delivery.
It should not be necessary to charge your saber upon first arrival unless shipped overseas.
3. All batteries are calibrated at 100% charge before shipped. You can calibrate your battery as often as you like at
100% charge by making a stabbing motion while still in power level mode.
4. While pointing the saber blade down, press and hold button for 2 seconds and release to activate Volume Mode.
The blade will ignite half way to indicate the volume is at 50%. Twist the hilt in either direction until you reach the
desired level and tap the button once to exit Volume Mode.
5. ACTIVATING YOUR NEW LIGHTSABER:
– There are many ways to activate your new lightsaber other than just tapping the button. Your saber has
been shipped with one out of several gesture controls set to ON.
– Give the hilt a quick twist with the blade pointed up will activate your saber the same as tapping the
button. Another quick twist will deactivate the blade. You may also hold the button for 4 seconds to
deactivate.
– Repeat these same steps with the blade pointed down and a short blade animation will play before the
blade activates or deactivates. There are three different animations that will rotate when you do this
each separate time.

GOLDEN HARVEST V3 PHASE 4 TROUBLESHOOTING
1. BLADE IS BLINKING WHITE UPON IGNITION.
– The white blinking indicates that the microSD card is not inserted properly.
– Unscrew the handle of the hilt and remove the battery. This will give you access to the microSD
card underneath.
– The microSD card is held in place via a spring loader on the GHV3 soundboard. Carefully press
the microSD card into its slot and release. The microSD card should spring back into the locked
position.
– This step should be taken to both lock and unlock the card into place.
– Insert the battery and make sure your lightsaber is fully charged.
– If the problem persists, please contact us at: support@saberduel.com
2. THERE IS NO SOUND, STUTTERING SOUND, OR BLADE EFFECTS ARE MISBEHAVING.
– This is caused by a low battery.
– Immediately recharge your lightsaber for up to 4 hours or until fully charged.
– If the problem persists and the battery is fully charged, remove the battery and reinsert.
– If the previous steps do not fix the issue, please contact us at: support@saberduel.com
3. THE BLADE HAS BECOME LOOSE AND WOBBLES.
– Always tighten your retention screws before and after you use your new lightsaber.
– Heavy dueling will cause retention screws to loosen from time to time.
– If the problem persists, loosen the retention screws and twist the blade slightly to the right or
left. Over-tightening of retention screws will often leave dents in the blade. Twisting the
blades slightly will enable you to tighten retention screws on a new area of the blade.
