11.1.2. How do I know what DAISY navigation levels are available in
my book?
The 2 and 8 keys will cycle through the levels of navigation available in the
book. Many book producers include a section at the beginning of the book that
describes what the DAISY levels correspond to in that book. Check with your
book producer if you are unsure of the book's navigation features.

11.1.3. How do I quickly jump to the start or end of a book?
The Victor Classic and C have automatic bookmarks for the beginning
or end of the book. Press the Bookmark key until you hear Victor announce,
"Bookmark List". Then press the left arrow key until you hear, "beginning of
book". The beginning of book is always to the left of the first user bookmark.
Similarly, to reach the end of the book, press the right arrow in the bookmark
list until you hear "end of book". The end of book is always to the right of the
last user bookmark. If you have not set any bookmarks then you need only
press the left arrow key once in the bookmark list to reach the beginning of
the book or press the right arrow once to reach the end. In the C you
can also reach the start of the book by pressing the Go-to-Page key, then the
0 key, then the Play key.

11.2. Batteries and Charging
11.2.1. How long does it take to charge the Victor Classic batteries and
how long is the playing time?
It takes 11 hours to fully charge the player. Playback time on a full charge is
approximately 5 hours. This is based on continuous play of DAISY books. The
expected play time of 5 hours may be reduce by any of the following:
If the player is charged for less than 11 hours.
Extensive DAISY navigation is done as this causes more frequent use of
the CD drive and thus consumes more power.
The batteries will last less than half as long or about 2 hours if playing
standard (type CD-DA) music or book CD's.
The batteries will last about 3 hours if playing non DAISY MP3 music or
book CD's.
Higher volume consumes more power.
Higher playback speed consumes more power
Ambient temperature may affect battery life

11.2.2. Can I charge the batteries while playing a book?

you are listening to a book.
