Precautions

IMPORTANT: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE CLARION AUTOPC SYSTEM.

SAFETY WARNING! When you see

this symbol !, it means, for your safety, the vehicle must be stopped to set or use the Auto PC. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to manually access a function of the system.

Read and follow instructions

Before using your Windows® CE for the Auto PC system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this Owner’s Manual. Not following precautions found in this Owner’s Manual can lead to an accident or other serious consequences.

Keep Owner’s Manual in vehicle

When kept in the vehicle, the Owner’s Manual will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar with the

Windows CE for the Auto PC system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the Owner’s Manual and read its instructions and safety information carefully.

Warning Operating certain parts of this

system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.

Voice command control

Many of the functions of the Windows CE for the Auto PC system can be accomplished using only voice commands.

Prolonged views of screen

Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.

Volume setting

Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.

Clarion AutoPC Owner’s Manual

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.

Clarion AutoPC Owner’s Manual

Precautions continued

Opening the DCP

Grip the control panel as shown in the illustration which follows, and pull it outward and downward in one continuous motion.

Closing the DCP

Place your index finger immediately below the Start button, pressing inward and upward as shown below.

Proper clearance to eject CD

Open the control panel to the lowest position to allow the CD to be ejected without causing damage.

Before pressing the eject button, look to see that the CD will clear the top of the control panel as illustrated below.

Correct clearance

Note: If the CD is not manually removed within approximately 10 seconds after the eject button is pressed, the CD will be automatically loaded back into the CD Player.

CD ROM Installation

The vehicle should be parked at a level location when a higher version of OS or CD ROM software is installed. Note: If a vehicle starts up or cranks up, or if the ACC (accessory) is turned on or off during the installation, voltage fluctuation harmful to this unit may occur. This could result in an abnormal installation or a malfunction in the unit.

Power On at time of initial operation

It may take up to 15 seconds to see an actual display on the unit when it is initially powered up. This is not a malfunction.

Speaking

commands decisively

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

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 I say?” 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.

commands and response tones

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:

Auto PC Radio FM

“Awake tone”

Clarion AutoPC Owner’s Manual

Tones that help you

give speech commands

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.

gives you information

Screen-based icons

Chapter 3 - Getting Ready

Before you start using your Clarion AutoPC system, take a few minutes to become familiar with the unit.

Your Auto PC gives you information in two ways:

1. By displaying information on the screen.

2. Through voice synthesis, Auto PC reads status information or other requested information.

You can control Auto PC using the keys on the DCP or you can use speech commands, which are single words or short phrases that provide shortcuts to commonly used functions.

“Listening” timeout expiration status

When you say “Auto PC” or use PTT, Auto PC “listens” for speech commands and a green bar appears across the bottom of the display. The green bar gradually disappears as the listening timeout expires.

CAUTION! ONLY LOOK AT THE AUTO PC WHEN IT IS SAFE AND ONLY FOR AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. Do not look at the

green bar longer than is safe. The blue bar appears across the bottom of the display only when Auto PC

is “talking.” While “talking,” Auto PC does not accept voice commands.

Using Speech to go to a program

You can go to some programs by saying the program name. The program names available as default global commands are: Radio, CD Player, Directions, Address Book, and Messages. For information on changing which program names are available, see “Changing Speech Command Options” in the chapter, “Customizing Auto PC.” To go to a program that isn’t selected as a global command, use the keys as described in the next section.

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

• Change the volume

You can change which global commands are available in Setup. For more information, see “Changing Speech Command Options” in the chapter, “Customizing Your Auto PC.”

specific to a program

Using Program Speech Commands

Unlike global speech commands, program commands are specific to a particular program – you can only use them when you are in that program.

The following sections show you some examples of what you can accomplish using program commands.

• Go to a radio station preset

• Listen to a CD and change tracks

• Review directions while driving

• Dial a telephone number from Address Book

• Listen to an e-mail message

NOTE: Additional (optional) hardware may be required to accomplish some of these program commands. For example, to make Auto PC dial your cell phone, you need the cell phone cradle connected to the Universal Serial Bus (USB).

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 station name. The preset number key or text label are displayed when the preset station is shown.

You can establish up to 10 Preset stations for AM and up to 10 Preset stations for FM.

You can also use your voice to “train” Auto PC to recognize custom voice commands for your Preset stations. If, for example, you have a favorite ROCK and CLASSICAL station, you could give them station names such as ROCK and CLASSICAL.

Once you have selected either AM or FM you will also see the radio beacon icon and the frequency to which the radio is currently set. The frequency used in this next example is FM 94.7 (or substitute any working station in your area) and you will identify this station as Preset 1.

Chapter 5 – Using the CD Player

The Auto PC CD Player program gives you access to advanced play functions using speech commands. Using speech commands, you can:

• Play and pause the CD

• Delete the current track from the tracks played for the current CD

• Play tracks randomly

• Go to the next or previous track

• Go to the next CD (if you have the optional CD changer)

Using the control panel keys, you can also fast forward, rewind, or enter a track number. You can also go to the CD Player options menu where you can control which tracks to play and change the display options for the CD Player.

Clarion AutoPC Owner’s Manual

Types of CDs you can use with Auto PC

CD type Comments

Normal consumer Audio CDs

2 ½ inch consumer CD Singles

4 ¾ inch computer CD-ROMs

NOTE: The Auto PC CD mechanism cannot read “Multi session” type CD-ROMs. These CD-ROMs are typically used for computer database and data archival applications.

These are the popular compact discs used to play music.

These CDs can also be used in the Auto PC’s in-dash player.

CD-ROMS are used by the Directions program to access map data, and by the Setup program to install new Auto PC programs. For more information, see the chapters, “Using Directions” and “Customizing Your Auto PC.”

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.

You will need a start point and a destination point to give to the Directions program in order for it to calculate a route and supply you with specific 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.
