Voice Response
[SOUND] 2
When you press a button
Accenda will state the function
then send the command.
[SOUND] 1
Accenda will not issue a voice
response when you press a
button.
Note: When sound is enabled, you may need to hold
buttons down longer than usual to give Accenda time to
state the function and send the command.
You may also set up Accenda so that it will not send a
command until you press the button again. See Voice
Response Method in the User’s Guide for instructions.
Hands Free (Voice) Operation
Unlike conventional remote controls, Accenda may be
used “hands-free” to control your TV, VCR etc. without
lifting a finger! Any word may be set up to initiate either a
single button press (for example [V+] to turn up the
volume) or a sequence of button presses. For example,
[TV] ÿ[POWER] tells Accenda to switch into TV mode,
then turns the TV power on or off. Voice instructions are
preceded by a “keyword (such as “Accenda” or “remote
control”) which tell Accenda an instruction is coming.
To train the Accenda to recognize your keyword:
1. Press and release the [SHIFT] button then press
the [TRAIN] button
2. At the prompt say a keyword such as "Accenda."
3. Accenda will ask you to repeat the keyword.
Now teach Accenda the desired voice instructions, for
example, turn on the television with the voice instruction
“TV Power.”
You Do This Accenda Response
Press the [TRAIN] button Accenda will say, "Say a
word." The [LISTEN]
button will light green.
Say a one or two-word
voice instruction. For
example, "TV Power."
Accenda will ask you to
repeat the instruction.
Say the same word again If the two words match,
Accenda will say "Push a
button."
Press the first button of
the voice instruction ([TV]
in this example).
Accenda will respond
with, "Button accepted.
Push another button."
Press the next button in
the sequence (in this
example, [Power]).
Accenda will say, "Button
accepted. Push another
button."
Since you have now
completed the sequence,
press the [TRAIN].
Accenda will say,
"Command assigned."
Button sequences can be from 1 to 50 buttons, and you
may program up to 50 voice instructions.
To use voice instructions, “wake up” Accenda by pressing
the [LISTEN] button. The button will light orange to let
you know Accenda is waiting for your keyword. When you
speak the keyword, the button will turn green, telling you
Accenda is awaiting your voice instruction.
