Tips For Voice Operation - Pioneer AVIC Z3 - Navigation System With DVD player Operation Manual

Operating Your Navigation System with Voice
p Depending on the operating state of the na-
vigation system, some commands dis-
played in Voice Help may be unavailable.
Available commands are in white and una-
vailable commands are in gray.
When using voice operation for the
first time
Until you are familiar with this system, it is re-
commended that you stop the vehicle in a safe
place and refer to the commands displayed in
the Voice Help menu (a list of the words you
can speak). When your vehicle is parked with
the parking brake on, see the Voice Help
menu and speak voice command on that
menu (except for some cases).

whether the microphone is properly con-
nected and turn the power on again.

menu can be switched by using
on the screen. You can also switch
the page by saying "Next page" or "Pre-
vious page".
p If you say "Back" or touch [Back], the
screen returns to the previous screen.
To cancel voice operation
You can cancel voice operation features at any
time by saying "Cancel". After you cancel
voice operation, the map is displayed.

onds or the recognition fails three times
successively, the voice recognition
switches to standby mode. To reactivate
voice operation, touch VOICE icon.

Tips for Voice Operation

For your voice commands to be correctly re-
cognized and interpreted, ensure that condi-
tions are suitable for recognition.
Reduce the volume setting on your
vehicle audio system
= For details, refer to Switching the muting/at-
tenuation timing on page 150
Close the vehicle windows
Please note that wind through the vehicle win-
dow or miscellaneous noise from outside the
vehicle can interfere with voice operation.
Position the microphone carefully
For optimum pick-up, the microphone should
be fixed at a suitable distance directly in front
of the driver.
Pause before giving a command
Speaking too soon may cause the recognition
to fail.
Pronounce your commands carefully
Speak slowly, deliberately, and clearly.
p If the registered voice command and the
default voice command is the same, the re-
gistered voice command (e.g. the pronun-
or
ciation for the entry in "Address Book" and
the playlist in Music library ) will take prior-
ity. In this case, the default voice command
will not function. To use the default voice
command, change or delete the registered
voice command that is identical to the de-
fault voice command.
