Main Menu Table Of Contents Bluetooth HandsFreeLink How to Use the HFL The HFL is operated by the HFL Talk and Back buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. The next few pages provide instructions for all basic features of the HFL. NOTE: All phones may not operate identically, and some may cause inconsistent operation of the HFL. Using Voice Control Here are some guidelines for using voice control: To enter a command, press and release the Talk button. Then, after the beep, say your command in a clear, natural tone. Close the windows and the moonroof. Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation. Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling. After pressing the Talk button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command. Give a voice command in a clear natural speaking voice without pausing between words or numbers. If the system cannot recognize your command because of the background noise, speak louder. If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly. If the HFL does not recognize a command, its response is, ''Pardon.'' If it doesn't recognize the command a second time, its response is, ''Please repeat.'' If it doesn't recognize the command a third time, it plays the Help prompt. 328 2008 Odyssey
