Main Menu Table Of Contents Bluetooth HandsFreeLink How to Use HFL 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 HFL. Using Voice Control Here are some guidelines for using voice control: Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling. Close the windows and the moonroof. To enter a command, press and release the HFL Talk button. After the beep, say your command in a clear, natural tone. Lower the A/C fan speed during voice recognition operation. If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly. If HFL does not recognize a command, its response is ''Pardon.'' If it doesn't recognize the command it plays an appropriate Help prompt. Response time may vary depending on the voice command. To hear a list of available options at any time, press the HFL Talk button, wait for the beep, and say ''Hands free help,'' or ''Help.'' CONTINUED When you are at the main menu, you can hear general HFL information such as pairing or setting up the system. Press the HFL Talk button, wait for the beep, and say ''Tutorial.'' 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 HFL Talk button while HFL is speaking. HFL will then begin listening for your next command. Features 215 2009 Civic Sedan
