Chapter 3 - Getting Ready
Before you start using your Clarion AutoPC system, take a few minutes to become familiar with the unit.
Two ways Auto PC gives you information
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. Start Menu

Using Program Speech Commands
Program commands are specific to a program
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.
Clarion AutoPC Owners Manual 35
Finding or tuning a station
Using the DCP keys ( ) you can seek to a station, using ( ) you can fine-tune to a station. Also, you can enter a station number directly with the numeric keys (0 9) after pressing (#).

Protect important information

Use a password

You may keep valuable data on your system, such as names and phone numbers of important contacts, credit card numbers, and confidential documents. Here are some ways to protect your important information. You can set a password that must be entered before you are allowed to access sensitive programs (like the Address Book). To set a password, go to Setup and choose Password. You can enter both a 4-number password and a custom command word. Choose a password thats easy to remember. If you forget it, you must perform a full reset to use your system againwhich will erase all of your data. You can create and maintain backup files that contain your systems program data. If, for example, your Main battery (car battery) and Auto PC Backup battery and Auto PC Coin Cell battery are drained and you lose your data, you can restore it from the backup file. For more information, see the Backup/Restore chapter.
