outside/inside vehicle).
 A i rÀ ow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.

condition in which recognition is
dif¿ cult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition
will improve. Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.
 Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves the
longer the name is. By not using

environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.
