Acura 2013 TL Navigation - Manual (Page 14)

Getting Started
14 Navigation System
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the
Interface Dial
as a backup method.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the
TALK button. To control your
navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the TALK
button. On the map screen, a voice
recognition screen and pop-up voice
icon
are displayed. If you press
and release the TALK button while
on any other screen, only the pop-up
voice icon
appears.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command. (Voice
commands that the system recognizes
are highlighted.)
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command
and prompts you for the next command.
Using the
TALK button, answer the
prompts as required.
If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give
a command on the Voice Recognition
Example Commands screen, it responds
with “Pardon? No command was heard.
Please press the
TALK button and say
a command. To return to the previous
screen, press the BACK button.” On
any other screen, it responds with
“Pardon? No command was heard.
Please press the
TALK button and
say a command.” If the system cannot
perform a command or the command is
not appropriate for the screen you are
on, a beep will sound.
You can fi nd out which voice commands
are available for a particular screen by
saying “Help.” The system will display
and read the list of available commands
to you. (When
Help is grayed out, this
feature cannot be used.)
When you speak a command, the
system generally either repeats the
command as a confi rmation or asks
you for further information. You can
bypass the feedback by pressing the
TALK button again, or you can turn the
feedback off completely.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the
Voice Recognition Tutor setting
in SET UP on page 104.
If you hear a prompt such as “Please
use the
Interface Dial to...” or “Please
choose an area with the Interface
Dial ,” the system is asking for input that
cannot be performed using the voice
control system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition
when using the navigation or Bluetooth
®
HandsFreeLink ® voice control system,
the following guidelines should be
followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page
167 .
• It is best if the windows and sunroof
are closed. If they are open, speak
a little louder to overcome the wind
noises.
