How the buttons are laid out
Top Surface
The top surface has 5 push buttons. A large center Play button with 4 buttons around it arranged in the shape of a cross:
Play button – the big button in the center. It is the only one that is smooth
Mode button – The Mode button is only button below the Play button. It is marked with a large X that you can feel. This one is the “Mode” button. 
Left Arrow button – To the immediate left of the Play button is the Left Arrow button.
Right Arrow button – To the immediate right of the Play button is the Right Arrow button.
Record button – Immediately above the Play button is the Record button.
All of these buttons act as a directional pad to navigate around the Play button. The Record button takes you up. The Left Arrow button takes you left and so on.
If you slide down again with your fingers, you reach the round vents of the speaker. 
Speaker – immediately below the X button.
Power indicator light – in the top left corner of the top surface

Front side
Selector button – a push button on the left side

3.4 Bookmarks – Creating and erasing
To set a bookmark press Record for 2 seconds. Milestone 212 announces “Bookmark set” and the number of the bookmark. You can create a bookmark during play back or while paused

You may insert up to 120 bookmarks per book.
To navigate from one bookmark to another press Record or Mode until you hear “Bookmark”. Then use the arrow buttons to jump between bookmarks you have created.
