1.1. Layout description

1.1.1. The user interface

The user interface of your Milestone 212 Ace consists of five buttons.
You will find a large, circular button with a plain surface in the center, surrounded by four 
tactile buttons, arranged in the form of a cross.
The round button in the middle is the only one with a smooth surface, devoid of tactile 
markers. This is the “Play” button.
Directly below the “Play” button you will find the “Mode” button, which is marked with a 
tactile X.
Above the “Play” button is the “Rec” button. This button is marked with a tactile circle.

To the left of the central “Play” button is the “Left arrow” button. You can recognize it by the 
tactile arrow oriented toward the left. To the right of the “Play” button is the “Right arrow” 
button, marked with a tactile arrow pointing toward the right.
Below this arrangement of buttons you can feel the speaker and in the top left corner of 
the device, there is a small, red LED lamp.

1.1.2. The top side

The top side contains the sixth and last push button. It‘s a small, round button at the top 
left corner of the device. This is the “Selector” button. Located to the immediate right of the 
“Selector” button is the rectangular opening of the USB-socket. In addition to transferring 
data to a computer, you can use a USB-cable to charge the battery of your Milestone 112 
Ace. At the far right of the top side, you will find the device‘s line-in socket.
