SYSTEM LIMITATIONSNBEL0180S03Service AreaNBEL0180S0301Depending on the cellular provider chosen, service is provided in
the 48 contiguous states. Service is not available in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, or Mexico. The Communicator Response Center will not
be able to locate the customer's vehicle outside of the continental
United States.
Inoperative if Cellular Phone is Inactive or InoperativeNBEL0180S0302INFINITI Communicator will be inoperative if the customer does not
have an active account with cellular provider, since INFINITI Com-
municator relies on the cellular network. When the INFINITI Com-
municator system is outside of cellular service, the ªNO SERVICEº
indicator will illuminate. If you try to activate INFINITI
Communicator, the REQUEST will be cancelled. Cellular phone
transmission may become temporarily disabled, or interrupted by
environmental factors like tunnels, bridges, or tall buildings. In such
cases, INFINITI Communicator will re-dial up to four times. After
several failed attempts, the system will quit dialing and return to
normal mode.
Inoperative if The System is in The Demonstraiton
Mode
NBEL0180S0303The INFINITI Communicator system remains in the demonstration
mode until the setup procedures are completed. If the system is
activated in this mode, the Communicator Response Center will
recognize this operation as a demonstration and will not provide
any service. The system can be changed to the demonstration
mode by using CONSULT-II to check the system operation. Do not
forget to turn off the demonstration mode after confirmation.
BatteryNBEL0180S0304Since INFINITI Communicator is powered by the vehicle's battery,
if the battery is removed, damaged or discharged, the system will
not work.
Inopertive if Cellular System is BusyNBEL0180S0305When INFINITI Communicator tries to contact the Communicator
Response Center, but the cellular network is busy, the system
attempts to re-dial for up to two hours. This time varies greatly
depending on the cellular network and cellular signal strength. The
system resets to ready when the system completes the re-dialing
attempts.
RoamingNBEL0180S0306If the customer's cellular provider does not have a roaming agree-
ment with the provider where the vehicle locates, it may not be
possible to use the lines of a different cellular provider. Therefore,
it is impossible that INFINITI Communicator will contact the Com-
municator Response Center.
Special Cellular FeaturesNBEL0180S0307Some cellular carriers offer custom phone numbers that are
assigned a Personal Identification Number (PIN). The cellular
phone user is required to enter the PIN anytime a phone call is
made. The INFINITI Communicator system is not compatible with
the PIN feature. A PIN requirement on the cellular phone will cause
the INFINITI Communicator system to be inoperative.
Other special features such as call waiting, voice mail, call
forwarding, etc. can interfere with INFINITI Communicator system
operation.

INFINITI COMMUNICATOR (IVCS)
System Description (Cont'd)
EL-351

IThe vehicle location data is calculated using GPS.
IThe vehicle ignition switch must be turned to the ON position
to obtain the vehicle location. (This is because the system is
in the sleep mode when the ignition switch is OFF.)
IOnce this function starts up, regardless of the ignition switch
position, the system keeps transmitting the vehicle location
until the cancel signal is transmitted from the Communicator
Response Center.
IWhile this function is operating, the operator can covertly moni-
tor what is happening inside the vehicle through the hands-free
microphone.
Alarm NotificationNBEL0180S0405IWhen theft warning system sounds an alarm for more than 7
seconds because of improper access, the alarm signal is
transmitted from the smart entrance control unit to the IVCS
unit, and the system executes automatic dialing to the Com-
municator Response Center.
If the alarm is reset before 7 seconds has elapsed, the
INFINITI Communicator will not place a call to the Communi-
cator Response Center.
IThis function operates regardless of ignition switch position.
IWhile this function is operating, the operator can covertly moni-
tor what is happening inside the vehicle through the hands-free
microphone.
Remote Door UnlockNBEL0180S0406IWhen the door is locked with the key inside the vehicle, the
door can be unlocked by contacting the Communicator
Response Center. (Proof that the person calling is the owner
must be received by the Communicator Response Center.)
IWhen the ignition key is in the ªOFFº position, the system is in
the sleep mode. Therefore, back door outside handle must be
pulled to wake up the system.
ITo perform remote door unlock, call the Communicator
Response Center and follow the operator's instructions.
NOTE:
IWhen the system contacts the Communicator Response
Center, data including the vehicle location is transmitted
to the Communicator Response Center.
ICommunication with the Communicator Response Center
is not completed until the completion signal is transmitted
from the Communicator Response Center. (Any calls to
the Communicator Response Center can only be termi-
nated by Communicator Response Center.)
IFunctions other than alarm notification and remote door
unlock operate while the ignition switch is ON and only for
three minutes after the switch is turned OFF.
IOnce a call to the Communicator Response Center is
made, the communication continues regardless of the
ignition key switch position.
IAll the voice communication with the Communicator
Response Center is made through the hands-free tele-
phone.
IWhen the INFINITI Communicator system is activated, the
handset does not function.
