performed with 24 kbps. Recording resolution is always 16 bit at a sampling rate of 44.1
kHz (line-in) or 32 kHz (microphone).
If the memory is already full when attempting a recording or becomes full during a recording
the message “Memory full” is played. If the memory card is removed during a recording
onto the memory card the message “No memory card” is played.
The integrity of a recorded message is not guaranteed if the memory card is removed during
a recording. In the worst case, the memory card will need to be reformatted and all stored
messages will be lost. The user is in any case advised to investigate the status of the
memory card with the computer and a disc repair utility after reinsertion of the card into
Milestone 311.
File names for recorded messages are assigned automatically by the device at the time of
recording. The first file is called “M001.mp3”. “M” stands for message and the digits “001”
are a continuous number. The second message is called “M002.mp3”. The device
reassigns file names automatically to keep the logical file order if a recording is inserted
between already existing messages.
Additional MP3 files may be played back just like any recorded message if the MP3 files
have been transferred into the provided folders via the USB connection. Order of play is
alphabetical.

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. When you reach the end of a message, the device will stop
playback automatically. Pressing the “Play” button at this time will replay the message once
more from the start.
If you would like to play a message from the start, while it is already playing, simply press
the left pushbutton after the message has already played for more than three second. If you
press the left pushbutton before the message has already played for more than three
second then the push of the button will take you to the start of the previous message.
When you change the application or folder the device will memorize the current message and
potential pauses and will return to the same position when reentering that folder. This is true
for all folders.

Playback of previous or next message
Using “FF”/”Rew” will select the next/previous message and will play it automatically. You
may stop the replay at any time by pressing the “Play” button (middle button which contains
no symbol). With the “Rew” button or left arrow button (left button with embossed left arrow
pattern) you jump to the start of the current message. If you press the “Rew” button before
the message has already played for more than three second then the push of the button will
take you to the start of the previous message. The jump happens as you let go of the button
to distinguish this function from scrolling. Pressing “Rew” or “FF” multiple times allows you to
jump quickly between messages.
