switched off.
Note: In "Local Settings" of the "Radio" application, you can choose between mono and stereo playback
and adjust the search sensitivity. You also have the option to send a radio signal to be received on M312
Ace from another device. For details, please see the chapter "Audio" at the beginning of this manual.
To listen to the radio through the internal speaker of the M312 Ace, hold "Selector" key while you press the
"mode" button. To return to normal playback, pause playback with "Play". If you press "Play", playback will
switch to headphones.

megahertz. With the "Play" button to determine the digit number 1-9 megahertz and the "Right arrow"

entered all the digits of the frequency. Now when you press "Left arrow" twice, the message "One
hundred-point-zero" is heard. Then press four times on "Play" to listen to the message "A hundred four-
point-zero". Finally, press twice on the "Right arrow" and the desired frequency of "One Hundred Four-
Two-point" is played as soon as you release the "Selector" button again.

Saving and naming a radio station
If you want to store the frequency of a radio station that you are listening to, press "Play" for 2 seconds. `A
beep confirms that your Milestone 312 Ace has memorized the radio station and the current frequency is
saved. There are a total of twelve presets for radio stations available. With "Rec" or "Mode" you can switch
between the memory locations. You can rename the preset radio stations with their own voice memo. Use
the same key combination as for naming a folder. Hold down the "Rec" button and press the "mode"
button. Hold down both buttons during the process. Milestone tells you the file number, and after a single
click, you can record the name of the radio station. When you release the button, the recording is finished.
This is confirmed by the sound sequence "high-low". When you select that station the next time, you hear
your voice recording.
