Charging Daisy books
Milestone 311 Daisy accepts your Daisy books on a memory card that is inserted on the
side of the device. This is a so-called SD memory card. SD stands for “Secure Digital“,
which denotes a world-wide standard for memory cards. These memory cards are available
in your electronic shop. Please ask your audio library how to get hold of Daisy audio books
easily. Possibly your audio library already provides Daisy books on SD memory cards.
Alternatively they can copy audio books from CD (Compact Disc) on to the SD memory card
(see below). Daisy books may be copied to and erased from the SD card as often as
desired.
7.2.1.
Charging Daisy books on to Milestone
To charge a Daisy book on to Milestone 311 Daisy you need an SD memory card. Insert
your SD memory card in the slit on the side of your Milestone until it locks with a light click.
The memory card will only fit into the device in one single direction of all the ones possible.
Do not use force. Afterwards press the “Selector” button on the face side of the Milestone
until you hear the recording ‚Daisy player’. If there is already a Daisy book on the memory
card you can start the playback directly. This may be the case when you obtain Daisy audio
books already copied on SD memory cards from your audio library.
Otherwise there is the possibility of copying audio books from CD to the SD memory card by
means of a PC. Link Milestone via the supplied USB cable to your PC. Your memory card
appears as additional drive on your PC in the same way as e.g. a USB memory stick would.
Now insert your Daisy CD of choice into your PC drive. This CD also appears as an
additional drive. Make sure that the available memory capacity of your SD card at least
covers the Daisy book on the CD and copy the file with the Daisy book from the CD on the
SD memory card. If you would like to copy several Daisy books do this in the same way. It is
important that each Daisy book is filed separately and that these files are saved in the root
directory. Milestone is not able to find and play Daisy books in multi-convoluted files. In
addition to the Daisy books in files Milestone finds a Daisy book directly in the root directory.
Should you like to charge one single Daisy book you can do this in the root directory to
simplify matters. Please follow the technical advice at the end of this user manual
(“Troubleshooting“).
Tip: Daisy books have an extensive memory capacity. If you wish to charge major books
regularly, we recommend the purchase of an appropriate SD memory card writer. These
devices attain a very high rate of data transmission and can be purchased inexpensively in
electronic shops.
7.2.2.
Erasing Daisy books from Milestone
To erase a Daisy book from Milestone press the “Selector” button until you hear the
recording ‚Daisy player’. Link Milestone via the USB cable with your PC. Your SD memory
card appears as an additional drive on your PC. Erase the file with the Daisy book you wish
to erase. If you wish to erase several Daisy books do it in the same way with the further files.
If the Daisy book you wish to erase is in the root directory erase the corresponding file in the
root directory. Please be careful not to erase files unintentionally, that do not belong to the
Daisy book you wish to erase.
