6.2.3. Software Update

Bones Inc. releases from time to time new ﬁrmware to improve the product and to react to

customer wishes. If you have problems with your device please take care that you have

installed the newest ﬁrmware. These ﬁrmwares are for free.

More about handling this topic can be found under “Service and Support”.

6.2.4. Protect Milestone

Please use the special case for Milestone to avoid scratches and prevent contact with

water, so no underwater recordings with Milestone 312 please.

6.2.5. Create a data backup

A backup saves the content that you have on M312, on another memory. Mainly this other

memory will be a computer. This saving on a second memory gives you higher security in

case your Milestone gets stolen, you loose your M312 or if Milestone goes to rack and

ruin. To create a backup please connect your Milestone 312 to your computer (described

under “USB connection to the computer” in this manual) and copy all folders from M312 to

your computer. Redoing your backup from time to time is a further step of data safety.

6.3. Troubleshooting

6.3.1. Nothing works anymore

First of all breath slowly, relax and please do not beat poor Milestone 312. Not before you

have tested this following advice:

Step 1:! Does the device have adequate power supply? Connect your Milestone 312

! ! to a power outlet and ensure that the charger is powered. Recharge the

! ! built-in battery for at least half an hour.

Step 2: ! Is the device turned on? Press “Play” at least half a second.

Step 3: ! Is the keyboard locked? While keeping the “Mode” button (bottom button with

! ! an embossed cross pattern) pressed, press the “Rec” button (top button with

! ! round indent) brieﬂy and listen for the response of the device:

You will hear the message “Keyboard active”: Keyboard was locked and is

now unlocked. Go directly to step 5.

You hear the message “Keyboard locked”: Keyboard has now just been

locked. Press the same combination of buttons once more to unlock the

keyboard. The device will play the message “Keyboard active”. Go directly

to step 5.

You hear no message: The volume of the device is possibly turned down.

Keep the “Mode” button pressed, while simultaneously pressing down the

“Right arrow“ button for approximately ﬁve seconds. Go to step 4.
