Hi Grant.
Are you pressing the same lock/unlock keys that you would use when not
in the notetaker?
We were considering a goto time feature, but the power move commands
now provide a great way to get to a specific time quickly.

Hi Larry,
Wow! Impressive feature list. One thing though, I've tried the lock
and unlock commands in the note taker and it does nothing. Second, I
agree that HOURS and minutes should be announced for the elapsed time
feature, if possible. And it still would be great to have a "go to
time" function.

Book Port Firmware Revision History
What's new in Book Port Firmware*
American Printing House for the Blind, Inc.
Revision History
When updating firmware, be aware that the unit announces several
audio messages, so when you disconnect the device from the USB port
after a firmware update, please have the earphones attached.
When the update process begins, you will hear, "Code Update Started,
please do not press any keys," then you will hear the numbers 1, 2, and
3. (There will be a delay before you hear "3.")
After the code update, Book Port will reset itself, and you will hear
its startup message consisting of the message Book Port Ready followed
by the new version number.
After the version number announcement, the unit updates code and
messages, and you will hear a message for each of these. Finally, if the
update contains any Spanish pronunciation rules, the unit will announce
that it is uploading the Spanish rules. When this process is complete,
the unit will announce "done."
You are then ready to enjoy the new features.
Firmware Version 2.1.0.4 Beta, July 29, 2005
* Added the ability to set bookmarks in unindexed audio files. The
resolution is one second, so if you try to set a bookmark within one
second of an existing bookmark, the command will actually clear the
existing bookmark.
* Alters the way the folder name is announced when attempting to read
files in an empty folder. Before, the unit provided the short name and
the entire path, now, the firmware announces only the name of the empty
folder.
* Provides extended statistics on a file when the user presses the 8
key regardless of whether the file had been played or not. This
corrects a longstanding issue that required you to have pressed the play
key at least once before you could obtain statistics.
* Changes the beeps to spoken announcements when the user sets or
clears a bookmark.
* Adds the command "Announce Elapsed Time." This is accessed with
the 5 key in both idle and reading mode for audio files.
* Changes the behavior of the To and From Notes Command. Now, you do
not need to close the note before issueing the command.
* Adds the Lock and Unlock command while in the notetaker.
* Announces the folder's name when the folder is empty.
* Adds the Power move commands to unindexed mp3 files.
* Adds the announcement of elapsed time in status for unindexed mp3
files.
* Adds the Move File command to move a file from one folder to
another.
* Bug fix: If the user tries to lock a file in an empty folder, the
unit doesn't say that there are no files to lock.
* Bug fix: unindexed mp3 files are improperly locked.
