Getting StartedEntering InformationWhen the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a screen similar
to the one on the next page. You can
then use the displayed letters, numbers,
or symbols to enter information. You
can enter your keyboard input in either
of the following ways:
 Say the desired letter, number, or symbol on the screen if you are
entering a city or street name.
 Move the highlighting to the desired letter, number, or symbol by rotating
the Interface Dial knob, then push
in on the Interface Dial .
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. To enter a space between
words, say “Space” or move the
Interface Dial to the right. To delete
an entry, say “Delete” or move the
Interface Dial to the left. If a letter has options (such as accent
marks or symbols), they will appear in
gray next to the se
lected letter on the
upper row. Move the Interface Dial up
to select OPTION , and use the
Interface Dial knob to select the
letter.
To enter symbols, rotate the Interface
Dial Knob and select # or @, then
move the Interface Dial up to select
OPTION .
When entering an address, the system
searches the database for words that
match the letters you are entering. As a
result, you will notice that some letters
are no longer available.
When the system fi nds only one entry
that matches, it co mpletes the name
entry for you. If the system finds more
than one entry that matches your input, a
list of these matches is displayed. Tip:
When entering a name of a city, street,
or place, or if you are unsure of the
spelling of the name, enter the letters
that you are sure of, then move the
Interface Dial
down to select LIST.
The system will display a list of names
that most closely match your input. For
each letter that is en tered, the number of
corresponding choices is displayed on
the right-hand side.00 ACURA MDX_KA.book 16 ページ ２０１１年７月２７日　水曜日　午前１１時６分

NOTE:
When there are more than 2,000
destinations, the ordering of the items in
the list cannot be sorted by distance or
name.
When you select a location, the system
displays the Calculate route to screen.
(See Driving to Your Destination on
page 52.)
By Place CategoryAfter you select Place Category from
the MENU screen ( Dest. MENU 1 ), the
display changes to:
If you select a cate gory from the list,
you can select even more detailed
subcategories.
Let’s assume you want to find a coffee
shop (restaurant) called “Bucks.”
 If you know the phone number of the coffee shop, select Place Phone
No. , then enter the 10-digit number
with area code. This is the quickest
way to find it. See By Place Phone
Number on page 43.  The second best method is to select
Place Category , then Restaurant ,
then CAFÉ/COFFEE SHOP , and
then enter the keyword “Bucks.” The
list will include all restaurants that
have the letters “bucks” anywhere in
the name.
 You can try to enter “Bucks” using Place Name, but you may have to
search through a list that might
include Bucks Welding, Bucks
Surplus, etc.
NOTE:
 Prior to departure, you can set areas to avoid. The system then includes
them in its calculations for the
destination you have entered. See
Edit Avoid Area on page 110.
 You can enter the desired destination using the voice control system. For
information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command
Index on page 163.
