Main Menu ® Table Of Contents Bluetooth HandsFreeLink® 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. When voice commands are used, the fan speed will be automatically adjusted to low. However, for better voice recognition, lowering the fan speed may be necessary. Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling. ● 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. ● To hear a list of available options at any time, press the Talk button, wait for the beep, and say, ''Hands free link help.'' Many commands can be spoken together. For example, you can say, ''Dial 123-456-7891.'' To enter a string of numbers in a Call or Dial command, you can say them all at once, or you can separate them in blocks of 3, 4, 7, 10, and 11. To skip a voice prompt, press the Talk button while the HFL is speaking. The HFL will then begin listening for your next command. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 282 2009 MDX
