procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds
directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization,
the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and
obtains their orbital information. During this procedure
the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view
of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly,
this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position, the
following screen appears.
It this screen appears, turn off the engine, then restart
the vehicle and move it to a different location. If the
disclaimer screen appears, the GPS initialization is
complete.
NOTE:
 The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
 If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears
again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-341).
 Skip to a CSF screen by pushing the MENU and INFO buttons at the same time and can move to an System

This part of the initialization matches the GPS
coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this
part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation
system is displays a map, and drive the vehicle on a
mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a
destination at this time. When the name of the current
road you are driving on, appears at the bottom of the
screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system
is now ready to use. If the Navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a
yearly
updated DVD, you have two ways to purchase
one. You can either call 888-549-3798, or order on-line
at www.acura.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD cannot be
ordered through the parts system. The following DVDs
will not work in this navigation system:
 Earlier model navigation DVDs (black, orange, light blue label and the older versions with a white label)
 Map software programs manufactured by other companies
 DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the
fall of each year. They may contain the following:  Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
 Fixes for minor software bugs
 Additional features
NOTE:  Map matching must be done any time the DVD is removed or replaced.
 Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD may
undergo a half a dozen software only version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remain
unchanged.
 Never promise your customer future free updates.
There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The online DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available.
 Damaged discs are not covered by warranty unless they have been damaged by the navigation system.

How to Identify Navigation DVD Versions,
and How to Inspect A DVD for Damage
23-271
To determine the navigation version on a particular
model, start the engine, then locate the navigation unit.
Open the DVD door, and push the eject button to eject
the DVD. Hold the DVD by the edges, and check for
these items: Check any official Acura service website for more service information about the navigation DVDs.
 The DVD label color.
 Read the DVD version on the label, and note it on the repair order. The version number is near the bottom
of the label text (for example, ver: 4.23A). You will
need this version number:
– To verify that the DVD version is appropriate for the vehicle. Check any official Honda service website
for more service information.
– Any time you call Tech Line regarding a navigation system issue.
– To answer client inquires concerning update or coverage issue.
NOTE: Client’s may obtain DVDs from sources
outside the normal ordering process. If you
determine this is the case, recommend that your
customer purchase the appropriate DVD from the
Acura Disc Fulfillment Center (see ORDERING A
DVD).
– Check the underside of the DVD for signs of mishandling. Deep scratches, or random scratches,
light swirl marks, or fingerprints can cause random
lock-ups, reboots, erratic voice response, erratic
positioning errors, and DVD read or format errors.
NOTE: A damaged DVD is not covered under
warranty unless the disc is damaged by the
navigation unit. Damage by the navigation unit
typically appears as circular scratches caused by
something rubbing against the DVD as it spins. The
damage may appear as arcs or complete circles on
the DVD reading surface.
– Verify that the underside of the DVD is silver, and not a copy with a blue color. Copies will not work
properly and can cause other symptoms that mimic
hardware problems.  Incorrectly colored DVDs being put into navigation
vehicles. This causes the system to either display
error messages, or causes system malfunctions that
mimic a hardware problem. This results in the client
leaving with a malfunctioning navigation system.
 The DVD version provided to the client is out-of date or incompatible with a particular model. This
inconveniences your client by delaying the repair, or
by causing additional (and unnecessary) returns to
your dealership.
 The client experiences bugs or other issues that have already been resolved in later versions currently
available at the fulfillment desk.
If the DVD is defective, or has any of the issues
mentioned above, return the vehicle to your client and
recommend that they order the proper DVD from the
Acura Disc Fulfillment Center.
NOTE: Navigation DVDs do not come with replacement
navigation units. If you are replacing a navigation unit
because it is defective (following appropriate service
manual troubleshooting), and the DVD does not eject,
order a DVD. See Obtaining a navigation DVD.

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.

Pairing a Cell Phone
23-363
You must pair an approved Bluetooth-compatible
phone to the HFL system before you can make and
receive calls. For a current list of approved phones and
specific phone pairing instructions for each phone, see
Checking Cell Phone Compatibility, go towww.acura.
com/handsfreelink, or call 888-528-7876.
The following procedure works for most phones. If you
cannot pair a phone to the HFL system with this
procedure, refer to the phone’s operating manual, visit
www.acura.com/handsfreelink, or call 888-528-7876.
NOTE:  You cannot pair a phone while the vehicle is moving.
 Your phone must be in Discovery Mode.
 A maximum of six Bluetooth-compatible phones can be paired to the system. 1. With the 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 status,
pair, edit, delete, and list.’’
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. State a four-digit code for
pairing. Note this code. It will be requested by the
phone.’’
3. Press and release the HFL TALK button. After the beep, say the four-digit code you want to use. This
can be any four-digit number you want. For
example, say ‘‘1, 2, 3, 4.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘1, 2,
3, 4. Is this correct?’’
4. Press and release the TALK button. After the beep, say ‘‘Yes.’’ The HFL responds, ‘‘HFL is now
searching for a Bluetooth phone. Make sure the
phone you are trying to pair is in Discovery mode.’’
If these steps do not work on the phone you are
pairing, refer to the phone’s operating manual.
5. Follow the prompts on your phone to get it into its Discovery mode. The phone will search for the HFL.
When it comes up, select HandsFreeLink from the
list of options displayed on your phone.
6. When asked by the phone, enter the four-digit code from step 3 into your phone. The HFL responds, ‘‘A
new phone has been found. What would you like to
name this phone?’’
7. 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. Returning to
the main menu.’’

Pairing TroubleshootingPairing Checks
23-364HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many pairing issues are resolved by altering the client’s
phone settings.
Bluetooth feature settings must be turned on. Phone
manufacturers set the default to disable Bluetooth
features to conserve battery life. Cell phones may
provide procedures to Temporary Power On Bluetooth,
or Power On Bluetooth. Turn the Bluetooth feature on,
pair the phone to the vehicle, and confirm the phone is
linked. Do this by turning the phone off and back on.
Make or receive a call to confirm that the cell phone is
successfully paired.
When the phone’s Bluetooth feature is on, other
handsfree accessories such as earpieces or headsets
may automatically reconnect to the phone when you
turn on the accessory or move it within range of the cell
phone. This results in the phone not connecting to the
HFL system when the client’s enters the vehicle. You
must unlink the hands-free accessory from the phone
before the HFL system can reconnect.
Some phones have an Auto Answer setting that
functions with a headset. This setting must be turned
off or the HFL system cannot accept any incoming calls.
When this setting is on, it blocks the HFL system from
answering the call, and the call goes to voice mail. This
can cause the client to think that the cell phone is not
paired properly.
If the HFL system has six phones paired, it will not tell
you that it has reached its maximum, and will not allow
you to pair a new phone. To check how many phones
are paired, press and release the HFL TALK button.
After the beep, say ‘‘Phone setup list.’’ The HFL system
lists every assigned
phone name paired with it, then
finishes by saying ‘‘The entire list has been read.
Returning to the main menu.’’ Count the number of
phones listed. If there are six, you must delete one
phone before adding a new one. For more information about pairing, refer to the cell
phone owner’s manual, or go to handsfreelink.com.
1. Is the cell phone compatible with the HFL?
2. Is the Bluetooth feature turned on?
3. Is the client using the HFL buttons, not the navigation buttons, when pairing?
4. Is the cell phone battery fully charged, and is there good signal strength when pairing?
5. Do a soft reset on the cell phone.
6. If the client is trying to pair a Blackberry
or Palm
Treo device, make sure the client uses the shift
key when entering the pass code. If the shift key is
not pressed, the client may be entering letters. The
HFL does not recognize letters.TM
