Item Definition
23-287
The following is a glossary of terms pertaining to the Voice Recognition Navigation System.Active noise cancellation
(ANC) The active noise cancellation system cancels some of the vehicle noise. This occurs in the 1,500 2,400 rpm
range. Microphones detect the low frequency sound, and the system outputs a canceling sound from the
audio speaker.
Address Book The HFL system can import a copy of the phone book from and approved HFL compatible phone and display the imported phone book on the navigation screen as the address book. See the Owner’s Manual for more
information.
B-CAN Body CAN Bus (see CAN)
Bread-crumbs (White dots) Off road tracking dots that can be followed on the map to retrace your route back to a mapped (digitized) road. This function can be turned on/off in Setup screen 1.
CAN Controller Area Network. This communication network allows processors in the vehicle to send/receive information. The fuel pulses used by the MID trip computer are received from the ECM/PCM using the F-CAN
(Fast Controller Area Network) bus.
CPU Central Processing Unit. The main device within the navigation unit that coordinates the rest of the electronic functions.
CSS Countershaft (Output) Speed Sensor. This sensor reads the output shaft speed at the transmission and provides a speed pulse to the ECM/PCM.
Database This consists of the Map data, and the POI (Points Of Interest) data stored on the DVD.
DBW Drive By Wire. Allows electrical control of the throttle without the need of a mechanical linkage.
DCA Detailed Coverage Area. Main metropolitan areas in the Lower 48 states, and Canada are mapped to this level. See the navigation system manual for a list of these areas.
DTC Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Use the HDS tablet to obtain, and troubleshoot the cause of these codes.
Dead reckoning The use of the speed signal, and yaw rate sensor to position the vehicle on the map even when tall buildings, or driving in a tunnel obscures the GPS signal.
Digitized road A road that appears on the navigation screen. The road name appears at the bottom of the navigation screen. If the user drives off road, the navigation system displays not on a digitized road, and after 1/2 mile, the
bread-crumbs appear.
Disclaimer screen Screen containing cautionary information. It is meant to be read carefully, and acknowledged by the customer when using the navigation system.
DVD or DVD-ROM Digital Versatile Disk. The navigation program and database resides on this disk. See the Navigation Owner’s Manual for information on how to order a replacement or an update DVD.
ECM Engine Control Module. Typically referred to as the ECM.
FAQ Frequently Asked Questions. See the navigation system manual for a list of the customer FAQs, and troubleshooting information.
F-CAN Fast CAN Bus (see CAN)
GA-NET The GA-NET allows the audio unit to communicate with all the audio and navigation components in a vehicle. If there is an open in the GA-NET, components or the entire audio and navigation system may
appear inoperative.
GPS Global Positioning System. A network of 24 satellites in orbit around the earth. The navigation system can simultaneously receive signals from up to 12 satellites to accurately position the vehicle on the map.
HDS Honda Diagnostic System. A hand held tablet PC used for diagnosing vehicle problems. This device can be used to obtain DTC codes for diagnosis of the navigation system and CAN related problems.
HFL HandsFreeLink uses Bluetooth technology as a wireless link between it and an approved Bluetooth compatible cell phone. See Vehicle Owner’s manual or Quick Start Guide for more information.
HIP (AcuraLink) Honda Information Platform (see AcuraLink)
H/U Head Unit. The audio unit in the dash.
Initialization This refers to the period needed to re-acquire the GPS satellite orbital information whenever the navigation system power has been disconnected. This can take from 10 to 45 minutes.
Interface Dial This control device consists of a rotating knob and the buttons surrounding it. This device allows control of the navigation, audio, and climate functions displayed on the screen.
Jog Dial See interface dial.

Phone Will Not Automatically Connect the
HFL
Incoming Calls
23-366HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many reasons for a dropped call are not related to the
HFL system. Here are some causes for dropped calls:
If the quantity of dropped calls is about the same when the client uses the HFL system versus the
handset, the issue is likely due to the cellular phone
or carrier.
If the phone is equipped with a retractable antenna, it needs to be extended to maximize signal strength.
If a client also notices that the calls tend to drop in the same areas, the HFL system may be operating
normally, but something about the area diminishes
cellular coverage to a point where the call drops.
Hills or m ountains can block or interfere with cellular
signals.
High-rise buildings, bridges, or other large structures may block or interfere with cellular signals.
Placing the cell phone in a purse, in a metal briefcase, under the seat, in the glove box, or in the trunk can all
affect signal reception.
There are coverage gaps in the cellular service. When driving, a call is typically passed from one tower to
another. If the client drives through an area where
there is a coverage gap between towers, the call
drops.
Electrical storms, heavy rain, or overcast c onditions
interfere with signal strength.
The cell phone battery’s state of change can affect signal reception. A low battery may reduce the
phone’s ability to boost the antenna’s power and
function properly, especially in low signal strength
areas. Some phone manufacturers trade off signal
transmission and reception strength for battery life.
As the battery weakens, the signal strength may also
weaken. Some cell phones may operate more
effectively than others in low signal strength areas,
especially with a partially charged battery, and
depending on whether or not the retractable antenna
is fully extended (if applicable). On these models,
make sure the antenna is always extended to
maximize signal strength and extend battery life. If a client complains that their cell phone is not
automatically connecting to the HFL system when they
enter the vehicle, do this:
1. Make sure the Bluetooth feature is turned on in the cell phone.
2. Make sure the cell phone is properly painted to the HFL system.
3. Do a soft reset to the cell phone.
4. Check if the phone has an Authorized Connection or Trusted option.
5. Check the battery and signal strength on the cell phone. Pairing a phone requires optimal signal
strength and a nearly full battery.
If a client complains that they cannot receive incoming
calls through the HFL system, see if the call is routing to
the cell phone instead of the HFL system. An easy way
to know if the call is routed to the cell phone is when the
client says, ‘‘I can’t hear the caller, but they can hear me.’’ 1. Make sure the Bluetooth feature is turned on in the cell phone.
2. Make sure the cell phone is paired to the HFL system and linked.
3. Make sure the answer settings in the cell phone are set to multi-key or any-key answer. If the phone is
set to flip open to answer, recommend changing
the setting to Any Key or leaving the phone flipped
open when using the HFL system.
4. Make sure the Auto Answer feature is turned off in the cell phone.
5. Do a soft reset to the phone.
6. Make sure the battery is fully charged and there is adequate signal strength.
7. Ask the client if they have set specific ring tones or ringer IDs to specific contacts. If they have,
recommend using one standard ring tone for all
calls.
8. Make sure the client is pressing the HFL TALK button and not the HFL BACK button or the
navigation buttons.
