Detailed description of operation of all functions
3.1.
On/off (sleep mode)
Milestone 311 has no on/off switch. After ten minutes of inactivity, the device will
automatically go into sleep mode to conserve battery charge (as long as it is not connected
to a power outlet or a powered USB cable). The device will reactivate upon pressing of any
of the five topside buttons. It needs about a second to become functional. Subsequently,
recordings from sleep mode will start with a delay of about a second. Further recordings will
start immediately with the pressing of the “Rec” button.
3.2.
Selection of application
Pressing the “Selector” button rotates Milestone 311 between the three available
applications “voice recorder with internal memory”, “voice recorder with memory card” and
“MP3 player”. The selected application and the active folder are announced with a pre-
recorded message. The selected application, active folder and active message are
memorized when the device goes into sleep mode. After reactivation the device returns to
the same application, folder and message as it was before going to sleep. The three
applications are announced with “internal memory“, “memory card voice recorder” and
“MP3 player“.
3.3.
Volume control
To increase the volume, keep the “Mode” button (bottom button with an embossed cross
pattern) pressed, while additionally pressing down the right arrow button. To decrease the
volume, additionally push down the left arrow button. With each push of the right or left
arrow button, the volume changes by one level. Overall, there are 12 volume levels
available. If the volume is changed during playback of a message, then playback continues
at the adjusted volume level. If the volume is changed during paused mode then the
messages “Up” or “Down” are played at the adjusted volume level. Reaching the maximum
and minimum volume levels during paused mode is indicated by a beep. Instead of
pressing the arrow buttons multiple times, you may also keep them depressed continuously.
After approximately one second, the volume will start to change continuously in the chosen
direction.
