Hi Linda
It is just a small device that sits on top of the Milestone. You simply put
it on like a hat, where it connects to the USB port, and the Milestone will
announce: "Fame". Then you can find an item to detect, and press the play
button on the unit. It will then announce what that colour is.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie
thanks for your discription, Fame certainly sounds quite good. I already
have the mile stone and its calender so think I will now add fame.
