How to Troubleshoot the HandsFreeLink System (Continued)

Navigation Through HFL Menus

To skip a voice prompt, press and release the TALK button (A) or the HFL TALK button (B) while the HFL system is speaking. The system beings listening for your next voice command.

To go back a step in a voice command sequence, press and release the BACK button (C) or the HFL BACK button (D), or press the TALK button or the HFL TALK button and say "Go back." If you do not say anything while the HFL system is listening for your voice command, it times out and stops voice recognition. The next time you press and release the TALK button or the HFL TALK button, the HFL system begins listening from the point it timed out.

If you have finished or want to stop a voice command sequence at any time, press and release the BACK button or the HFL BACK button, or press and release the TALK button or the HFL TALK button, wait for the beep, and say "Cancel." The next time you press and release the PICK-UP button or the HFL TALK button, the HFL system begins from its main menu. To avoid keeping the audio system muted, press and release the BACK button or the HFL BACK button when you are finished.






Pairing a Cell Phone

You must pair an approved Bluetooth-compatible cell phone to the HFL system before you can make and receive calls. For a current list of approved cell phones and specific cell phone pairing instructions for each cell phone, see Checking Cell Phone Compatibility, go to www.acura.com/handsfreelink, or call the Acura's dedicated call center at 888-528-7876.

The following procedure works for most Acura approved cell phones. If you cannot pair your cell phone to the HFL system with this procedure, refer to your cell phone's operating manual, the vehicle's Owner's Manual, visit www.acura.com/handsfreelink, or call the Acura's dedicated call center at 888-528-7876.

NOTE:

- You cannot pair a cell phone while the vehicle is moving.
- Your cell phone must be in its Discovery mode.
- A maximum of six approved Bluetooth-compatible cell phones can be paired to the system.

With Navigation

The commands for pairing the cell phone can either be selected using the interface dial or by using the voice recognition system (TALK and BACK buttons).

NOTE: The navigation system can pair up to six approved cell phones. If you try to pair a seventh cell phone, a message appears that prompts you to delete one of your existing cell phones.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY (I), and make sure the cell phone you are pairing is on and in its discovery mode.

2. Press the INFO/PHONE button, and turn the interface dial to select Cellular Phone, then press ENTER.

3. Move the interface dial down to select Phone Setup.

4. Select Setup Bluetooth phone, and press Enter.

5. Select Pair Phone, then press enter.

6. When a four-digit pass key number appears on the screen, wait until prompted by the cell phone, then enter the pass key into your cell phone.

7. Once the cell phone is successfully paired, the screen displays "The pairing was successful."

Without Navigation

1. With your approved cell phone on and the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II), press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say " phone setup." The HFL responds, "Phone setup options are pair, edit, delete, list, status, next phone, set pairing code."

2. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say "Pair." The HFL responds, "The pairing process requires operation of your mobile phone. For safety, only perform this function while the vehicle is stopped. For proper system function a compatible Bluetooth phone is required. Please visit www.acura.com/handsfreelink for a list of approved phones and other system information. HandsFreeLink is waiting to pair with a Bluetooth phone. From your phone, search for Bluetooth devices, and select HandsFreeLink. When prompted by your mobile phone enter the pairing code XXXX." The HFL system will give you a 4-digit pairing code.

3. When prompted by your cell phone, enter the pairing code. Refer to your cell phone user guide for more information about searching for a Bluetooth device.

4. Once the cell phone is recognized by the HFL system, it responds, "HandsFreeLink has connected to a new phone. A name is needed to identify this phone. Press the talk button and say a name. For example, John's phone."

5. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say the name you want to use. For example, say "Tom's phone." The HFL responds, "Tom's phone has been successfully paired."
