■ When using the microphone
●It is unnecessary to speak directly into the microphone when gi ving a com-
mand.
● When “Voice Prompt Interrupt” set to on, it is not necessary to wait for the
confirmation beep before speaking a command. ( P. 293)

properly and using voice commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents or
speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.
Due to natural language speech recognition technology, this sys tem
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However ,
the system cannot recognize ever y variation of each command.
In some situations, it is possi ble to omit the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the desired operation.
Not all voice commands are displayed in the short cut menu.
