RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Getting Started
Using the Voice Control System
You should use the voice control system
as much as possible, and consider
manual entry using the joystick as a
backup method of entry.
Most of the system’s functions can be
controlled by voice commands activated
with the NAVI TALK button. To
control the navigation system by voice:
• Press and release the NAVI TALK
button.
• Wait for the beep.
• Give a voice command.
Once the microphone picks up your
command, the system changes the
display in response to the command and
prompts you for the next command.
Using the NAVI TALK button, answer
the prompts as required.If the system does not understand a
command or you wait too long to give a
command, it responds with “Pardon,”
“Please repeat,” or “Would you say
again.” If the system cannot perform a
command or the command is not
appropriate for the screen you are on, it
sounds a beep.
Anytime you are unsure of what voice
commands are available on a screen,
you can always say “Help.” The system
will then read the list of available
commands to you.
When you give a command, the system
generally either repeats the command as
a confirmation or asks you for further
information. If you do not wish to hear
this feedback, you can turn it off.
However, hearing the feedback will
familiarize you with the way the system
expects commands to be phrased. See
the Voice Recognition Feedback
setting in Setup.If you hear a prompt such as “Please use
the touch screen to...” or “Please choose
an area with the joystick,” the system is
asking for input that cannot be
performed using the voice control
system.
Improving Voice Recognition
To achieve optimum voice recognition
when using either the navigation or
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® voice
control system, the following guidelines
should be followed:
NOTE:
Make sure the correct screen is
displayed for the voice command that
you are using. See Voice Command
Index on page 138.
• Adjust the dashboard and side vents
so air does not blow against the
microphone on the ceiling.
• Close the windows and the sunroof.

Navigation System15
RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Getting Started
Using the On-screen
Keyboard
When the system needs input from you,
the display changes to a keyboard. Use
the displayed letters to enter the
information. Enter each letter by one of
the following methods:
• Using the voice control system, say
the desired letter on the screen.
• Move the highlighting to the desired
letter using the joystick, then push in
on the joystick.
• Touch the desired letter on the screen.
When speaking the letters or using
“spell mode,” you can substitute the
name that represents each letter or
symbol. This improves recognition. The
system will only respond to the names
shown in the following graphic. For
example:
• To select the letter “A”: Say, “A”;
“Alpha”; or “Apple.”
• To select the letter “M”: Say, “M”;
“Mike”; or “Mary.”The names that can be used for each letter are shown below. For additional keyboard
symbols, see page 144.

RIDGELINE KA 31SJC860
Getting Started
Each entered letter will appear at the top
of the display. Say or select Space to
enter a space between words. Say or
select Delete to erase a letter entered
incorrectly.
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 finds only one entry
that matches, it completes the entry of
the name for you. If the system finds
more than one entry that matches your
input, the system displays a list.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the spelling of a
name, enter the letters that you are sure
of, and then select List. The system
displays a list of names that most closely
matches your input.You can choose to have your keyboard
displayed in alphabetized format as
shown below:
Or in a regular keyboard (QWERTY)
format as shown below:
See Keyboard Layout in the Setup
