The air conditioning system in your
INFINITI vehicle is charged with a refriger-
ant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the
earth's ozone layer. However, special
charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your INFINITI air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants
or lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioning system. See ªCa-
pacities and recommended fuel/
lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical and con-
sumer informationº section for air condi-
tioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
An INFINITI dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioning system.
WARNINGThe air conditioner system contains refriger-
ant under high pressure. To avoid personal
injury, any air conditioner service should be
done only by an experienced technician with
proper equipment. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the POWER or RADIO
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
key should be turned to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-
of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are de-
signed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general charac-
teristics of FM, AM and satellite radio sig-
nals that can affect radio reception
quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a
given reception area, and do not indicate
any malfunction in your radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not
the ideal place to listen to a radio. Be-
cause of the movement, reception condi-
tions will constantly change. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against
ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.

Ð Your vehicle is in an area where it
is difficult to receive radio waves;
such as in a tunnel, in an under-
ground parking garage, near a tall
building or in a mountainous area.
Ð Your cellular phone is locked to
prevent it from being dialed.
When the radio wave condition is not
ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it may
be difficult to hear the other person's
voice during a call.
Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connec-
tion disruption.
While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
If the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
please refer to ªTroubleshooting guideº
later in this section. You can also visit
www.infiniti.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help. Refer to the cellular phone Owner's
Manual regarding the telephone charges,
cellular phone antenna and body, etc.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radia-
tion exposure limits set forth for an un-
controlled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 8 inch (20 cm) be-
tween the radiator and your body. This
Transmitter must not be co-located or op-
erating in conjunction with any other an-
tenna or transmitter.
USING THE SYSTEM The INFINITI Voice Recognition system al-
lows hands-free operation of the
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some com-
mands may not be available so full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation. Initialization When the ignition switch is turned to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which takes a few seconds.
When completed, the amber light on the
overhead console illuminates and the
system is ready to accept voice com-
mands. If the button is pushed be-
fore the initialization completes, the
system will announce ªHands-free phone
system not readyº and will not react to
voice commands.
Operating tips To get the best performance out of the
INFINITI Voice Recognition system, ob-
serve the following:
O Keep the interior of the vehicle as
quiet as possible. Close the windows
to eliminate surrounding noises
(traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
recognizing voice commands correctly.
O Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command. Otherwise, the
command will not be received properly.
O Start speaking a command within 5
seconds after the tone sounds.

You can still use the Memo Pad and ac-
cess Setup.
To turn on the system again, choose the
Bluetooth On command from the Setup
command.
SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of
dialect users to train the system to improve
recognition accuracy. By repeating a
number of commands, the users can create
a voice model of their own voice that is
stored in the system. The system is ca-
pable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will
use memory A to store the model. If
memory A is in use and memory B is
available, the system will use memory B
to store the model. If both of the memory
locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location
should be overwritten.
Training procedure The procedure for training a voice is as
follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably
quiet outdoor location. 2. Sit in the driver's seat with the engine
running, the parking brake on, and the
transmission in Park.
3. Press and hold the button for
more than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: ªPress the
PHONE/SEND ( ) button for the
hands-free phone system to enter the
speaker adaptation mode or press the
PHONE/END ( ) button to select a
different language.º
5. Press the button.
For information on selecting a dif-
ferent language, see ªChoosing a lan-
guageº earlier in this section.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is se-
lected automatically. If both memory
locations are already in use, the
system will prompt you to overwrite
one. Follow the instructions provided
by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you
are ready to begin, the press the
button.
8. The SA mode will be explained. Follow
the instructions provided by the
system. 9. When training is finished, the system
will tell you an adequate number of
phrases have been recorded.
10. The system will ask you to say your
name. Follow the instructions to regis-
ter your name.
11. The system will announce that
speaker adaptation has been com-
pleted and the system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
O The button is pressed for more
than 5 seconds in SA mode.
O The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
O The ignition switch is turned to the
OFF or LOCK position.
Training phrases During the SA mode, the system instructs
you to say the following phrases.
(The system will prompt you for each
phrase.)
O phone book new entry
O dial three oh four two nine
O delete call back number
O setup pair phone
