5.5. Folder selection
Within the voice recording applications Milestone 311 possesses five folders each on the
internal memory and on inserted memory cards. Each folder may be selected directly via a
two-button combination. For this purpose you need to keep the “Selector” button pressed
and briefly press down on any of the five topside buttons. “Rec” for folder 1, “Rew” for
folder 2, “Play” for folder 3, “FF” for folder 4 and “Mode” for folder 5. Each time a folder is
selected or if the active application is changed the folder name is announced with “1”, “2”,
etc..
5.6. Voice labelling of folders
To change the voice label of a folder the same two-button combination which is used to
select the folder has to be kept pressed down for recording. Recording starts after a safety
interval of four seconds and ends when the buttons are released. The device signals start
of recording with the sound sequence “low pitched-high pitched” and end of recording with
the sound sequence “high pitched-low pitched”. This new voice label is heard the next time
the folder is selected.
The recorded voice label is discarded if it is shorter than 0.5 seconds and the old voice label
will remain. A voice label may be changed at any time by recording a new one. To
completely remove a self recorded voice label and to restore the original label of “1” to “5”
you need to delete the file “FOLDER.NAM” within the given folder via the computer.
5.7. Memory cards
5.7.1. Main usage
Memory cards are used for recording voice messages or other sounds with a total
recording time of more than two hours and line-in recordings from external audio devices.
Audio files in MP3 format which are transferred to Milestone 311 via computer are also
mostly stored on memory cards. Additionally memory cards allow simple exchange of audio
files in MP3 format between people as well as creating data backups of MP3 files.
5.7.2. Useable memory cards
All commercially available SD memory cards (“Secure Digital”) may be used in connection
with Milestone 311. These memory cards are already formatted and may be used within
Milestone 311 without further preparation. Alternatively, older MMC memory cards
(“Multimedia Card”) may also be used. Please note that the MMC memory cards are more
difficult to use since it is possible to incorrectly insert them in Milestone 311.
Memory size is measured in megabyte (MB). About 1000 megabyte make up a gigabyte
(GB). Currently available memory card sizes are from 256 MB to 8 GB. Maximum card size
for Milestone 311 is currently 8 GB.
5.7.3. Insertion and removal
Memory cards need to be inserted into the memory card slot on the side of the device. In
the correct orientation the contacts of the memory card face forward and upward to the
