System Description (cont’d)
LCD
Liquid Crystal Display (the navigation screen)
Map matching The received GPS information allows the navigation system to position the vehicle on the map. MAP
matching has occurred if the map screen displays the current street name in the bottom-shaded area.
Mic Abbreviation for the microphone used for receiving voice commands. It is located near the map light in the
ceiling. The ANC circuit may also use it to check its tuning.
MID Multi-Information Display
MW Maneuver Window. While on route to a destination, this window displays information about the next
maneuver.
Navi Abbreviation for the Navigation System.
Off-road tracking See bread-crumbs.
Off route This occurs when the user leaves mapped roads. Off road tracking dots (bread-crumbs) are displayed If the
option is enables in the setup menu. The user can use them to return to a mapped road. The bottom of the
navigation screen displays not on a digitized road.
Outlying areas These are rural areas that typically have only their main roads mapped. All other roads are shown in light
brown for reference only, since the have not been verified.
Paired Linking your call phone to the HFL.
PC Card Slot The PC Card (PCMCIA, type II) slot is for factory use only. Make sure that the sliding door is closed at all
times, if opened, an error message is displayed on the screen.
PCM Powertrain Control Module. This unit supplies the navigation system speed signal, also refered to as PCM.
PCMCIA A computer industry defined term referring to the PC Card slot standard.
PIN Personal Identification Number, a random 4 digit number created by the customer to protect personal
information.
POI Point Of Interest. These are the businesses, schools, etc. found under the places option on the main menu.
Polygon Colored areas on the map screen denoting parks, schools, etc. See the Navigation System Manual Driving to
Your Destination for a list of the assigned colors.
QWERTY Keyboard layout resembling the typewriter keys. The keyboard layout can be changed to an alphabetical
layout in the Setup mode.
SCS connector The service check signal 2-pin connector used to put the navigation system into the diagnostic mode.
Security code Code needed to activate the navigation system. You can get the security code from the in by entering the
navigation unit serial number. You can find the serial number on the diagnostic screens (unit check, Navi
ECU), or on the underside of the navigation unit.
Tuning A continual update of internal navigation system scaling factors. See the individual sensor tuning
discussions under either System Description, or System Diagnosis Mode (see page 23-297).
Unverified streets These streets have not been verified for turn restrictions, one-way, etc. They appear light brown on the map.
You can enter address destinations in these areas, but depending on your Unverified. Routing choice in
setup, voice guidance may end at the last verified street closest to your destination.
USB Universal Serial Bus. The USB is used for playing the compressed audio files (MP3, WMA, and AAC) on the
external device through the audio unit.
Verified streets These streets consist of the detailed metropolitan coverage areas, and other inter-town connection roads.
These roads are shown in black or red on the map. (interstates are red)
VP Vehicle Position. When in map mode, this circular icon shows the vehicle position on the map.
VR Voice Recognition. This allows voice control of many of the navigation functions. The hardware consists of
the microphone, voice control switch (navigation TALK/BACK buttons), and the center speaker. See the
overview for more information.
VSP Vehicle Speed Pulse. This pulse signal coming from the PCM (VIA the CSS) is used to update the Vehicle
position on the map. These pulses do not indicate direction (forward or backward). When in reverse, the
navigation receives a signal and directs the VP to move backwards on the map.
XM This device receives information from the XM satellites and passes XM audio information to the audio unit.
In addition, traffic information is sent to the navigation unit.
Yaw sensor This device is located in the navigation system control unit and senses the side-to-side twisting force
generated when the vehicle turns. See a detailed description of how this sensor works in system description.

Introduction
Checking Cell Phone CompatibilityVoice Control Tips and Improving Voice
Recognition
23-361
The HFL system works only with Honda approved
Bluetooth
-enabled cell phones with a hands-free
profile. If you are not sure if a particular cell phone is
compatible with the HFL system, Acura has a dedicated
call center at 888-528-7876 and website www.acura.
com/handsfreelink to answer your questions.
The HFL system allows you to make and receive hands-
free calls. It cannot control the phone’s performance
(call quality and signal strength). For more information
about performance and performance problems, refer to
Dropped Calls.
The most important step in troubleshooting HFL issues
is to identify the model, software version, and wireless
carrier of the phone in question. Not all phones with the
Bluetooth feature and a hands-free profile are
compatible with the HFL system.
Go to handsfreelink.com, and check if the client phone
is approved to work with Honda HFL system.
NOTE:  The lists of approved, archived, and currently testing phones are constantly changing, so make sure you
view them frequently.
 Phones are added as they are approved.
 Phones can be removed from the approved list if a software bug is discovered that makes the phone
incompatible. These phones can be added back to the
approved list if the phone manufacturer corrects the
bug.
 If the software bug is corrected, a new software version is created and may be listed in the Supported
Features section of the phone.
 The software versions that are approved are now being listed in the Software Version field.
 If you cannot access the Acura website, call the HFL call center at 888-528-7876 for further assistance. The
call center is open Monday thru Friday from 6:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. CT; Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
CT; and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT. To give a voice command to the HFL system, press and
release the HFL TALK button. Always wait for the beep,
then give your command in a clear, natural voice. The
HFL microphone is on the ce
iling by the map lights.
If the HFL system doesn’t recognize your voice
command, you’ll hear ‘‘Pardon.’’ If your command isn’t
recognized a second time, you’ll hear ‘‘Please repeat.’’
If your command isn’t recognized a third time, the HFL
system sends you to its Help menu.
To hear a list of available options at any time, press the
HFL TALK button and say ‘‘Hands-free help.’’
The HFL system may have problems recognizing some
voices. To improve voice recognition:
 Close the windows and the moonroof.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2) or off.
 Adjust the airflow from the center vents down, so that it’s not blowing against the microphone on the ce iling.
 Speak in a clear and natural voice. If the system cannot recognize your command, try speaking louder,
in a deeper tone.
 If the background noise is too loud, you may need to speak louder.
 If you speak with something in your mouth, or your voice is too high, the system may not interpret your
command correctly.
 Find out if the problem is with one person or with everyone who uses the system. If the system has a
problem with only one person’s voice, this is a
system limitation.
