The unique features of the ECLIPSE COMMANDER have been covered in various media, ranging from CNN and general circulation magazines to audio magazines, and publications such as Mobile Electronic. Now, ATTENTION would like to present the most important comments of all, the words of ECLIPSE COMMANDER users.

Let's get in the car with a writer who spent some time with the ECLIPSE COMMANDER on the road, and had this to say about the seven ways the COMMANDER impresses in practice:

The ECLIPSE COMMANDER is a miniature mobile computer that connects to one of five ECLIPSE E-COM head units and allows the major functions of these units to be controlled using simple voice commands. Using state-of-the-art speech recognition technology, the ECLIPSE COMMANDER allows the user to control a variety of functions and devices with natural, human speech: ●Sound system volume control ●Selection of CD, FM, AM or preset stations ●Navigation operation ●Cellular communications ●Optional vehicle control features Just say "Navigator" along with one of many programmed commands, and the COMMANDER will carry out the desired function.

The ECLIPSE COMMANDERﾕs navigation structure is powered with voice recognition software from Pronounced Technologies. Nine regional CD-ROMs and a user-friendly tutorial CD are included. The system uses voice prompts with a unique approach towards safety, using scrolling text supplemented by human speech. The voice recognition software picks up spoken commands with amazing accuracy, and guides you with turn-by-turn directions to your destination. You can also program frequently visited locations into the system (office or home, for example). Just say "Navigator, favorite" and spell out the pre-programmed location (spell out H-O-M-E to get directions to your home from wherever you are) - and the COMMANDER will take you there with step-by-step directions. Users can also select from a variety of points of interest (POI) that include the nearest ATMs, gas stations or restaurants, an extremely useful feature when you are in unfamiliar surroundings. Say "Navigator, nearest" along with the type of service youﾕre looking for, and the ECLIPSE COMMANDER will quickly calculate the nearest location and route.

The optional GPS (Global Positioning System) interface completes the navigation system, offering maximum functionality. In addition to navigation using the CD-ROM information, the GPS interface uses a satellite network to keep constant track of where the vehicle is. Just say "Navigator, where am I?" and the COMMANDER with GPS pinpoints your current location. If you stray off the calculated route, the COMMANDER will instruct you, through voice prompts, the best way to get back on route. With or without the GPS option, the ECLIPSE COMMANDER is totally voice-interactive -the sytem will ask the user where he or she wants to go, offering a list of choices such as addresses, intersections, favorite places, etc. The more you familiarize yourself with the vocabulary and functions of the system, the faster you will be able to input information and get directions to your destination.

As an optional feature of the ECLIPSE COMMANDER, a cellular phone interface is available for many popular Nokia wireless phones, with other cellular interfaces soon to come. The wireless phone interface gives the user the ability to make calls, answer calls, redial and store phone numbers using voice commands. The ECLIPSE COMMANDER can dial up to 10 programmed numbers stored by name. Just say "Navigator" along with one of six commands to operate hands-free: DIAL REDIAL LOOK UP ANSWER HANG UP STORE

Like many high-tech vehicle security systems, the ECLIPSE COMMANDER includes two outputs that allow you to connect to and control electronic features of the vehicle. By simply saying "Navigator, options" and then "1"or "2" the user can turn on courtesy lights, control heater or air conditioning functions, even open the garage door. Installers with a little creativity can combine these outputs with additional components to control almost any electronic vehicle feature your customer desires. These two control features enable the ECLIPSE COMMANDER to become a fully-integrated part of your customerﾕs vehicle. This level of convenience and versatility makes the ECLIPSE COMMANDER superior to other systems.

As with all ECLIPSE components, the head units that are compatible with the ECLIPSE COMMANDER are not short on quality. ECLIPSE takes a no-compromise approach on every component it designs and builds, ensuring the highest-quality sound reproduction through leading-edge technology and high-precision manufacturing processes. Customers who purchase E-COM compatible head units will experience the superior sound quality that theyﾕve come to expect from every component in the ECLIPSE family of products.

An advantage of the ECLIPSE COMMANDERﾕs design is that many other features, options and components can be added to the COMMANDER to increase its usefulness in the day-to-day functions of the busy driver. The engineers at Fujitsu Ten are working on a variety of additional applications, all designed to simplify the driving experience, adding both convenience and safety. The open-ended, flexible architecture of the COMMANDER platform prevents obsolescence. As these new applications are developed, authorized ECLIPSE retailers will be notified of their availability.
