If using the charger verify that the wall outlet is carrying current, if using the USB cable check
the computer. A beep will also sound if the battery is already fully charged. You may easily
check for the latter by pressing the “Mode” button (bottom button with an embossed cross
pattern) for 1.5 seconds. You may recharge the battery of your Milestone 311 at any time.
The memory effect known from nickel-metal hydride batteries does not apply since this
voice recorder contains a rechargeable lithium battery. You may therefore recharge your
Milestone 311 as often as you like to ensure sufficient availability of energy for your
applications. One charge cycle of a fully empty battery will take no more than four hours.
You are not required to unplug the charger at that point, since charging is automatically
interrupted.

Use of headphones
Recorded messages as well as music files may be listened to over the internal loudspeaker
of the Milestone 311 or through external headphones. For best results use headphones with
impedance of 32 ohms. The headphone jack needs to be standard 3.5 mm.
3.8.
Use of external recording sources
Milestone 311 has two recording source options. One may either employ the built-in
microphone or use an external audio source connected to the line-in entrance to make high-
quality recordings. The line-in entrance is designed for direct connection to the headphone
exit of audio devices such as CD players, radios, computers or tape players. For best
results set the headphone exit volume to low. External microphones require a pre-amplifier
to raise the signal to the required level. Your Milestone 311 dealer will advise you about
potential devices and suppliers.

Voice recorder

Main usage
The main usage for the “voice recorder with internal memory” is recording voice messages
such as shopping lists, schedule information and addresses or other sounds with a total
recording time of up to two hours. The number of separate recordings within these two
hours is not restricted.
The main usages for the “voice recorder with a memory card” are recording of voice
messages or other sounds with a total recording time of more than two hours and line-in
recordings from external audio devices.
The basic functionality and the operation of these functions are identical for both
applications. For improved data handling in both applications the recorded messages are
stored in one of five selectable folders.
