2. General functions

2.1. On / Off (sleep mode)

Milestone 112 Ace has no physical on / off switch. Press any button, except „Selector" to
start the Milestone 112 Ace. After ten minutes of inactivity, the device will automatically
enter sleep mode, to conserve battery life. The device will reactivate upon pressing the
middle "Play" button, for instance. After reactivation the device resumes at the last
position.
Hint: If your Milestone does not wake up by pressing any of its buttons (except „Selector"),
there are three possible causes: Either the keyboard is locked, the sound volume is on the
lowest level or the battery is empty.

2.2. Keyboard lock

To lock the keyboard, push the "Mode" button first, keep it pressed while pressing the
"Rec" button quickly, and finally let go of the "Mode" button again. When the keyboard is
locked you will hear the message "Keyboard locked". All key presses will be ignored,
except the shortcut that unlocks the keyboard. Therefore simply press the same
combination of buttons again. The device will acknowledge this with the message
"Keyboard active".

2.3. Volume control

There are 16 volume levels on the Milestone 112 Ace. To increase the volume by one
level, hold down the "Mode" button and then in addition press the "Right arrow" button. To
decrease the volume by one level press "Left arrow" while holding down the "Mode"
button. If you want to change by more than one level, simply keep the "Mode" button
pressed and hit the arrow button once for each volume level.
If you change volume during playback you just hear the volume increasing or decreasing.
If the volume is changed during paused mode, Milestone 112 Ace announces "Volume up"
or "Volume down". Reaching the maximum and minimum levels is indicated by a beep.

2.4. Information Service

Keep the "Mode" button pressed for at least 1.5 seconds to start the Information Service.
You will receive the following information:
• Number of the current voice record and if folders are activated, the storage location
• Memory status
• Battery status
• 6-digit serial number
• Software version
To stop the Information Service press "Selector" once or wait until all information have
been announced.
