Technical data

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. 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.
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.
The right long side 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.
Charge battery
First we will check if your Milestone 312 has enough power for our first trial. Therefore just
press on the middle “Play” button, and listen if Milestone says something. If it can not
speak Milestone 312 needs energy. Therefore grab the provided USB cable and connect
Milestone 312 to a computer. If you have no USB access to a computer, you can use the
charger for the power outlet. If you have connected it correctly, Milestone will thank you
with a short deep beep.
If Milestone is dormant, press the middle “Play” button to wake it (to save energy Milestone
312 falls asleep after ten minutes without any input) and you hear Milestone telling you in
which device it is located. To check the charge of the battery, keep the “Mode” button
pressed for 1.5 seconds and listen to the information given out.
Play a song
Okay, we agree that was not that thrilling so far. So let us do something more interesting.
We are going to play a song which is on your Milestone 312. With “Selector” you can jump
through the applications or what we call them, devices. Press “Selector” until you are in the
Audio device. Now you push the “Play” button.
You should be in the nice position now to listen to a thrilling traditional Swiss song. This
popular composition is from Jost Ribary and has the name “Steiner Chilbi”. Steinen is a
place in Switzerland and “Chilbi” is the word for “folk festival” in Swiss-German. With the
choice of this song, made in Switzerland, we want to refer to Milestone‘s roots, where it
has been created and produced.
If you can not get enough of this cheery sound and want to listen to it louder, keep the
“Mode” button pressed and in addition press the “Right arrow” button. Any time you press
the Right arrow, while pressing “Mode”, Milestone gets one step louder. If you want to
lessen the sound volume, just press the “Left arrow” instead of the “Right arrow” (while
keeping “Mode” pressed).
To pause the song push the “Play” button again and also to continue, just use “Play” once
more . When you are in a public environment, for example in a bus, and you do not want to
share your excellent music taste with the other passengers, you can plug in earphones
and the speaker becomes silent.
Milestone has all the routine functions of a typical music player. You can jump from one
track to the other with the “Left arrow” or “Right arrow” and by keeping these pressed, you
can also fast forward or rewind. If you press the “Right arrow” button now you will come to
