their own voice that is stored in the system. The
system is capable of storing a different speaker
adaptation model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.
Training procedure
The procedure for training a voice is as follows.1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.

button.
For information on selecting a different lan-
guage, see “Choosing a language” earlier in
this section.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected
automatically. If both memory locations are
already in use, the system will prompt you to
overwrite one. Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are
ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow the
instructions provided by the system.9. When training is finished, the system will tell
you an adequate number of phrases have
been recorded.

aptation has been completed and the sys-
tem is ready.
