Playing Music Files; Playing Text Files - Bones Milestone 212 Ace User Manual

Use the arrow buttons to switch between folders „Music" and „Text", located in the root
directory of the SD memory card. Select "Music" and then press "Mode", to enter the folder
and consequently go one level deeper. Your Milestone 212 Ace will automatically select
either the first file or subfolder within the "Music" folder. In our case it will find the folder
"Country" first. You will want to press "Right arrow" to switch over to the folder "Oldies".
Enter it with the "Mode" button. Milestone 212 Ace opens the first music track. The files are
sorted alphabetically. Finally, press "Right arrow" until you reach the Elvis Presley song.
If you want to go back up to the highest folder level, i.e. the root directory of the SD
memory card, press the "Rec" button twice.
Hint: If a folder is crammed with files, you may want to select either the first or last file, by
holding „Right arrow" and pressing „Play" to skip to the last file or holding „Left arrow" and
pressing „Play" to go back to the first file in the folder.
5.1.2.1. Voice labeling of folders
You can create your own custom voice labels and assign them to each available folder. To
do so, first enter the appropriate folder by using the „Mode" button. Keep the „Rec" button
pressed and wait for a clicking sound. Then hold down the „Mode" button too, until you
hear the announcement „folder". Recording starts immediately afterwards, so at this point
you'll want to speak the intended name of the folder into the microphone. Recording ends
with a „high pitched-low pitched" sound sequence, once you let go of the button
combination. Next time you select the folder, it will be announced by your own voice
message. You can repeat the process if required, but please note that if recordings end up
being too short, they won't be registered.
Hint: You can delete recorded folder names directly on your Milestone 212 Ace, but you
will have to activate the folder first. This is done by repeating the above process and
assigning a new recorded name to the folder. Afterwards you'll be able to delete the folder
by pressing the button combination „Mode" and „Play". Alternatively, you may want to
delete the recorded folder name on the SD card by connecting it to your computer and
deleting the file „FOLDER.NAM", located within the corresponding folder.

5.2. Playing music files

Please refer to chapter 5.1. „Navigation in Audio" to select a music file. Once selected,
music files will automatically start playing. Use the „Play" button to pause and press it
again to continue playback. The arrow buttons allow you to jump from one file to another.
Keeping the „Right arrow" button pressed allows you to fast forward and by holding the
„Left arrow" button you can rewind. Fast forward and rewind speed will increase, the
longer you keep the button pressed. Normal playback will resume as soon as you let go of
the arrow button.
5.3. Playing text files
When you select a text file, only its name will be announced. To actually start playback of
the file push „Play". Opening a DOC file for the first time may take a few seconds, until the
conversion process is completed. You'll notice a ticking sound during that process.
Text file playback is similar to music playback. You can jump to the next and previous file
with the arrow buttons and use the pause function with "Play". If you press and hold an
arrow button during playback, you can fast forward or rewind the text file. You will hear
periodic clicking sounds, each representing one step forward or backwards respectively.
The size of the steps can be defined by pressing „Rec" or „Mode" during playback. You
can choose between the steps „Screen" (25 lines of text), „Paragraph" or „Sentence".
