keyboard of Milestone 311. On SD cards the contacts are easy to locate by the large
grooves next to them. With MMC cards locating the contacts is more difficult because the
grooves are very small. SD cards, unlike MMC cards, may not be inserted incorrectly in
Milestone 311 (except by use of force). The card needs to be pushed in until only about 2
mm (0.1“) of it stick out. This is also indicated by the engaging of the locking mechanism.
Pressing the memory card in even more disengages the locking mechanism and allows
removal of the memory card. After insertion the memory card is locked in place in order for
it not to fall out during use. Please beware that use of force or small shocks may disengage
the locking mechanism and the card may be lost that way. Insertion of a memory card into a
running Milestone 311 and operational readiness of the memory card are acknowledged by
the sound sequence “low pitched-high pitched”. If functions requiring a memory card are
selected while no operational memory card is inserted in Milestone 311 then the device will
signal this with the message “No memory card”. If Milestone 311 does not encounter the
required formatting on a memory card the message “No file system. Please format through
PC connection” is played. Please refer to chapter 5 “Troubleshooting” for a description of
the required steps.
SD memory cards are equipped with a little switch for write protection. The switch is located
on the long side of the card with the larger notch. It can be moved up and down with a
fingernail. The distance which the switch moves is about 3 mm (0.1”). Write protection is
enabled when the switch is farthest away from the grooved section of the memory card. If
recording is attempted on a write protected memory card the voice message “Write
protected” is played.
6. MP3 player
6.1. Main usage
The MP3 player plays back audio files in MP3 format like music, voice recordings and
talking books from an inserted memory card. The acoustically supported navigation function
enables the user to easily manoeuvre between folders and subfolders without losing track.
Each folder can additionally be voice labelled with a recorded title. Generally the data
structure with all desired folders will be composed on a computer and transferred to
Milestone 311 via a USB connection. Afterwards you may use Milestone 311 to move freely
within this data structure, listen to MP3 files and add voice labels to the folders.
6.2. Playback
To playback messages, press the “Play” button (middle button which contains no symbol).
The same button also has a pause function. You may pause playback of a message by
pressing the “Play” button again and you may resume seamless playback by pressing the
same button once more. Milestone 311 will automatically play all MP3 files within the
selected folder. After completion of playback the device will stop automatically and will
return to the start of the first file within the folder. At this point you may restart playback or
navigate to a different folder.
If automatic continuation of playback across the entire folder structure is desired then each
folder needs to contain a file called “AUTONEXT.YES”. This file may be empty (with size
zero). Automatic traversing of entire folder structures especially makes sense when listening
