Go to step 5.
5. Obtain the correct version DVD (see page 23-269) and install it.

Introduction
Checking Cell Phone CompatibilityVoice Control Tips and Improving Voice
Recognition
23-361
The HFL system works only with Honda approved
Bluetooth
-enabled cell phones with a hands-free
profile. If you are not sure if a particular cell phone is
compatible with the HFL system, Acura has a dedicated
call center at 888-528-7876 and website www.acura.
com/handsfreelink to answer your questions.
The HFL system allows you to make and receive hands-
free calls. It cannot control the phone’s performance
(call quality and signal strength). For more information
about performance and performance problems, refer to
Dropped Calls.
The most important step in troubleshooting HFL issues
is to identify the model, software version, and wireless
carrier of the phone in question. Not all phones with the
Bluetooth feature and a hands-free profile are
compatible with the HFL system.
Go to handsfreelink.com, and check if the client phone
is approved to work with Honda HFL system.
NOTE:  The lists of approved, archived, and currently testing phones are constantly changing, so make sure you
view them frequently.
 Phones are added as they are approved.
 Phones can be removed from the approved list if a software bug is discovered that makes the phone
incompatible. These phones can be added back to the
approved list if the phone manufacturer corrects the
bug.
 If the software bug is corrected, a new software version is created and may be listed in the Supported
Features section of the phone.
 The software versions that are approved are now being listed in the Software Version field.
 If you cannot access the Acura website, call the HFL call center at 888-528-7876 for further assistance. The
call center is open Monday thru Friday from 6:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. CT; Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
CT; and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT. To give a voice command to the HFL system, press and
release the HFL TALK button. Always wait for the beep,
then give your command in a clear, natural voice. The
HFL microphone is on the ce
iling by the map lights.
If the HFL system doesn’t recognize your voice
command, you’ll hear ‘‘Pardon.’’ If your command isn’t
recognized a second time, you’ll hear ‘‘Please repeat.’’
If your command isn’t recognized a third time, the HFL
system sends you to its Help menu.
To hear a list of available options at any time, press the
HFL TALK button and say ‘‘Hands-free help.’’
The HFL system may have problems recognizing some
voices. To improve voice recognition:
 Close the windows and the moonroof.
 Set the fan speed to low (1 or 2) or off.
 Adjust the airflow from the center vents down, so that it’s not blowing against the microphone on the ce iling.
 Speak in a clear and natural voice. If the system cannot recognize your command, try speaking louder,
in a deeper tone.
 If the background noise is too loud, you may need to speak louder.
 If you speak with something in your mouth, or your voice is too high, the system may not interpret your
command correctly.
 Find out if the problem is with one person or with everyone who uses the system. If the system has a
problem with only one person’s voice, this is a
system limitation.

Navigation Through Menus
23-362HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many issues result from the client not using the system
properly. Make sure the client is using the HFL buttons
and not the navigation buttons. When the HFL TALK
button is pressed, the client hears one audible tone.
When the HFL BACK button is pressed, the client hears
two audible tones. Make sure to press the HFL BACK
button to exit the HFL main menu after completing a
call and before giving any navigation commands.
The HFL system may experience a number recognition
issue, such as when a client says a set of numbers in a
group unrecognized by the system. The HFL system
understands phone numbers in specific blocks of 1, 3, 4,
7, and 10 numbers. For example, the system
understands:
1234567890
123-456-7890
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0
The system may become confused if numbers are
stated in other blocks, as following: 1234-567-890
12-34-56-78-90
12345-67890
123-4567-890 To skip a voice prompt, press and release the HFL TALK
button while the HFL system is speaking. The system
beings listening for your next voice command.
To go back a step in a voice command sequence, press
and release the HFL BLACK button, or press the HFL
TALK button and say ‘‘Go back.’’ If you
don’t say
anything while the HFL system is listening for your
voice command, it times out and stops voice
recognition. The next time you press and release the
HFL TALK button, the HFL system begins listening from
the point it timed out.
If you’ve finished or want to stop a voice command
sequence at any time, press and release the HFL BACK
button, or press and release the HFL TALK button, wait
for the beep, and say ‘‘Cancel.’’ The next time you press
and release the HFL TALK button, the HFL system
begins from its main menu. To avoid keeping the audio
system muted, press and release the HFL BACK button
when you are finished.
NOTE: You can say multiple commands in one
sequence, like ‘‘Phone setup-pair’’ after pressing the
HFL TALK button.
