- "Bible" line: The New Testaments
- "Value to add NT": INCREMENT specific to each book (whatever the language)
Navigation buttons
- The buttons to switch from track to track allow you to manually change the image (or chapter)
- long press on previous / next buttons = rewind and fast forward within a track
- Pause (play / pause button) when sound is not needed
Good practices
- Wait for the player to start before entering a number
- Enter the digits of the track number quickly enough
- The track number is displayed for 3s, then the elapsed time in the track
- If you want to occasionally listen to a message that is not on the card: do not remove it, copy the mp3 file (s) to a USB stick and insert it, playback will switch automatically.
Navigating a New Testament
- Enter the BASE number of a language indicated on the "Bible" line to get to Matthew 1.
- You just need to add an INCREMENT to access a given book (last line of the label)
Mc:+29 Lc:+45 Jn:+69
... = short codes of the biblical book, followed by the corresponding INCREMENT.
(The Bible books are listed in the usual order)
- For the Gospel of Matthew there is no INCREMENT to add (just the chapter)
- Example, the French NT has for BASE 3400.
- BASE (3400)
- Beginning of the New Testament (Matthew) in the chosen language.
- number + 1 to 28
- The corresponding chapter in Matthew's Gospel (3405 = sermon on the mount)
- BASE + 29=3429
- Mark 1 (Mc: +29 → INCREMENT of 29)
- BASE+45 (3445), BASE+69 (3469)...
- Luke 1, John 1,... (BASE + INCREMENT)
- BASE+69+20-1=BASE+88=3488)
- John 20 (add 19 to John 1)
- BASE+239 (3639)
- Revelation 1
- BASE+300 (3700)
