The remaining three are smaller. If you go from the central “Play” button to the left, you
reach the “Left arrow” button. You will recognize it because of its arrowhead, which faces
to the left. The “Left arrow” has an opposite, which is located across from it. So when you
go to the right, starting from the “Play” button, you reach the “Right arrow” button. This one
has also an arrow but it is directed to the right. So the opposite from the “Left arrow”.
Finally there is only one push button left on the operator surface. When you slide up from
the “Play” button, you will reach it, the “Rec” button. This is the highest of these 5 buttons
and it has a round indentation in the centre.
So now you know all buttons on this surface with their names. You can also find here on
the bottom, the already mentioned high quality noise maker, the speaker. And in the top
left corner a small red lamp too.
2.2.2. Get to know the front end
On the front end of the device three things are tactile. We start on the left side with the
sixth and last push button. This one is smaller and juts out of the case. Say hello to the
“Selector” button, you will use it often. In the middle there is a longish opening, the USB
access. You can build a connection with the provided USB cable and consequently interact
with your computer or with special Add-Ons. You also charge Milestone‘s battery from this
access by using a charger or by the connection to the computer. On the right side you find
a further connector. Therewith you can connect external microphones.
2.2.3. Get to know the bottom side
On the bottom side there is only one connector. This one is for headphones. If you want
Milestone 312 to be silent in your environment, just plug standard headphones in.
2.2.4. Get to know the right long side
The right long side, which you can feel with the ball of the thumb, contains one longish
port. There you can insert SD memory cards to enhance your memory space and listen to
audio books and music files, which are stored on such an external medium.
2.3. Using the interfaces
The following descriptions focus on physical connection possibilities, which are enabled
through Milestone 312‘s interfaces.
2.3.1. Battery charging
Milestone 312 is equipped with a powerful rechargeable lithium polymer battery, which
allows playback or record durations of more than 12 hours. That means per gram of the
unit you receive a playback time of more than 13 minutes, which is a one of a kind
performance. But even the strongest battery has to be recharged at some time. This can
be done in two ways:
•
You can use the provided recharger for power outlet usage.
•
Or you can use the provided USB cable and connect Milestone 312 to a computer with it.
For both solutions you can use the connector, located in the middle of the front end of
Milestone 312. If you connect it correctly, Milestone 312 will let you know with a deep beep
and the LED on the operator surface blinks in a 3 seconds cycle. Maximum charging is 5
hours. To play it safe that Milestone 312 is fully charged, you can check the level of the
battery by using the Information Service in the Menu. Milestone 312 will tell you, besides
