Precautions continued
Care in handling
The Clarion AutoPC system is a
sensitive electronic device. As with all
electronic devices, care should be
taken to avoid contact with extreme
heat, cold, or humidity.
Operating at very cold temperatures
At extremely cold temperatures, the
display screen speed may be reduced,
and the display may dim. Also, the
colors on the display may vary
depending on the thermal condition of
the unit itself or the temperature in a
vehicle. These phenomena are the
characteristics of the liquid crystal
display and are not malfunctions.
Handling Detachable Control Panel
Also, special care should be taken
when handling and storing the
Detachable Control Panel (DCP).
Note: The terms “control panel” and
“DCP” are used interchangeably in this
document to refer to the same thing.
Fully close DCP holder after DCP
removal
It is dangerous to keep the DCP holder
at an angle once the DCP is removed.
Be sure that the DCP holder is fully
closed (in the vertical position).
Operating switches and knobs
The slanted control panel may not
maintain its adjusted angle if a button
is pushed too hard.
Cleaning display cover
Turn power off. Clean the display
cover with a lightly damp soft cloth.
Do not pour or spray liquid on the
display as this will damage the unit.

Chapter 2 –
Using Speech Commands
Auto PC can understand words and short phrases spoken as commands,
called “speech commands.” Using voice commands while driving allows
you to operate the system without distracting your attention away from the
road or removing your hands from the wheel.
Auto PC doesn’t listen for speech commands all of the time. If you want to
give commands to your Auto PC, you must first wake it up. Also, only a
few commands, called “global commands” are available all of the time.
Many speech commands are specific to a program, and so are called
“program commands.”
Auto PC recognizes command words more effectively when you speak
them decisively, as in a command, and may ignore words when you are
talking normally, as in a conversation.
Clarion AutoPC Owner’s Manual
15
Guidelines for
speech commands
If you don’t know
what to say
The Auto PC has been optimized to recognize adult speakers. Use the
following guidelines when giving commands to Auto PC:
1. Remember to wake up Auto PC.
2. Say each command clearly and distinctly, but don’t shout.
3. Wait for the “heard” tone before saying another command.
4. Wait for Auto PC to stop talking, or press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key
to interrupt.
5. Decrease background noise.
6. You may need to train Auto PC to understand how you say one or
more speech commands. For more information, see the section “To
train or add a custom command word” in the chapter, “Customizing
Your Auto PC.”
If you don’t know what commands you can say, just say “What can Isay?” and Auto PC will tell you which speech commands it is listening
for. You can also say “Help” if you want to know what you can do with
speech commands. The following sections contain more information that
will help you take advantage of the speech capabilities of Auto PC.

Getting help with speech commands
While in the Start menu you can press HELP to get assistance with
speech commands. You will see voice commands and how Auto PC
responds with musical tones. Auto PC tells you it is “listening” to you with
a specific tone, and that it has “heard” your voice command with another
different tone. You see both the commands and tones represented on
the Auto PC HELP display. For example, speaking “Auto PC” along with
other voice commands will appear as follows on the display:
Auto PC Radio FM
Note that ( ) represents the start of a voice command and ( ) signifies
the end of a voice command. Other conventions used in Auto PC HELP
are explained in this diagram:

If, after saying “Auto PC” you do not hear the “listening tone,” consult the
Tips and Troubleshooting chapter of this manual.
Auto PC has three tones that help you give speech commands:
1. When you wake up Auto PC, you’ll hear the awake tone, and see a
green speech command timeout bar on the bottom of the screen.
2. When Auto PC hears you, you’ll hear a short “heard tone.”
3. When Auto PC stops “listening,” you hear the sleep tone and the
listening timeout bar (green color) disappears.
For examples of how to use speech commands, see the Getting Ready
chapter.

Using Global Speech Commands
Global speech commands are available all the time, in any program.
Global commands include speech commands that take you right to many
of the programs on your Auto PC, plus commands that are useful in any
program, such as “Read” and “What time is it?”
To get started using global commands, the following sections show you
some tasks you can do using global commands.
• Have Auto PC tell you what speech commands you can say
• Have Auto PC tell you the time

Chapter 4 – Using the Radio
The fastest way to learn the Clarion AutoPC system is to try out the
functions you will frequently use. Once you have learned how to set up
and use commands for your radio, everything else is similar and therefore
easy.
The Radio program in Auto PC gives you access to most common radio
functions using speech commands. Using speech commands, you can:
1. Go between AM and FM.
2. Seek forward or backward for the next station.
3. Read the current station frequency and preset label (if any).
4. Go to 20 preset stations, ten each for AM and FM. For each preset,
you can assign a number key and a text label, as well as record the

Chapter 8 - Using Directions
Distraction Hazard
Emergency Services
Use the Auto PC’s driving directions to free yourself from struggling with
maps, and keep your attention focused on the road.
Directions Feature
The Directions feature is intended to provide turn by turn instructions to
get you to a desired destination. Please make certain all persons using
this system carefully read and follow instructions and safety information
fully.
Directions is one of the features of the Windows CE for the Auto PC
system which can require manual (non-verbal) set-up. Attempting to
perform such set-up or insert data while driving can seriously distract your
attention and could cause an accident. Stop the vehicle in a safe and
legal manner before attempting these operations.
Do not rely on the navigation system to route you to emergency services.
Ask local authorities or a “911” operator for these locations. Not all
emergency services such as police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics are
likely to be contained in the navigation map’s database.

directions. Start and destination points come from a several sources.
Two important sources are map data CDs and your Address Book.
The Directions program supports map data CDs offered by Clarion
Partners, allowing you to choose CDs appropriate to your area.
Addresses contained in your Address Book may be used as start points
and destinations points. As described in the Address Book Chapter, you
can transfer addresses from a Windows CE-based mobile device (such
as a Handheld or Palm-size PC) through the infrared port to the Address
Book.
To use Auto PC’s Directions, you need a compact disc that contains map
data for the region in which you are traveling. For a list of Clarion
partners offering map CDs supported by Auto PC, go to the web site

Let Your Judgment
Prevail
Calculating the route
When you request a route, Auto PC takes the starting point and
destination you’ve entered and determines a route for you to take.
The Directions navigation system is only an aid. Make your driving
decisions based on your observations of local conditions and existing
traffic regulations. This feature is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by this system should never
replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or
knowledge of safe driving practices.
