“Volume up” or “Volume down”. Reaching the maximum and minimum volume levels
during paused mode is indicated by a beep.
3.1.4. Reading rate control
Milestone 312 allows you to increase and decrease the level of reading speed during
playback. Use “Selector” and an arrow button combination for this. So when you are in the
standard reading rate and you push and hold “Selector” and press on “Right arrow”, you
increase the reading rate by one level. With a further press you reach the next higher
speed level etc. To slow down the speed, press the “Selector” combination with “Left
arrow”. Each step changes the reading rate by 10%. The range of speed change extends
from 50% (half speed) to 200% (double speed).
3.1.5. Select application (device)
Pressing the “Selector” button rotates Milestone 312 between the
available devices which are announced by name.
The basic version of M312 includes the devices “Audio”, “Books”, and
“Alarm”. Additional devices can be added to your Milestone 312
according to your needs. The selected device and position are
memorized when Milestone 312 goes into sleep mode. After
reactivation the unit returns to the same application and position, as it
was before going to sleep.
Attention: Are you located in the Menu and press “Selector” you jump
back to the current device.
3.1.6. Menu
The Menu provides further information and allows you to make certain settings. It is an
important tool for professional users to fully use the functionality of Milestone 312.
A big amount of setting possibilities is available in the Menu. To avoid thousands of
shortcuts which can not be learnt by rote, the Menu is structured as a list. You can scroll
through it and select the settings or functions you need.
To reach the Menu please press “Mode” for at least 1.5 seconds. Now, information relevant
to the current context is given out. This is the Information Service. It is the first of three
menu streams.
The next menu stream can be reached by pressing “Right arrow”. So you jump horizontally
to the right. Or with “Left arrow” back to the left stream. Navigation in the Menu is pretty
simple. You have to imagine the 4 press-buttons around the “Play” button as a navigational
cross. With “Rec” you go up to the next higher point. With “Mode” you reach the next lower
point. So in the vertical hierarchy you navigate with “Rec” and “Mode”. The horizontal
movement at one level, you do with the two arrow buttons.
The “Play” button has the executive function for direct functions. But mostly you will have a
setting point with a selection, you can scroll through via arrow buttons. In this case you do
not have to confirm with “Play”. It saves the last position automatically. To leave the Menu
at any time press “Selector”.
