Up to 5 phones can be paired. If you try to pair
a sixth phone, the system announces that you
must first delete one phone or replace an
existing phone.
If you try to pair a phone that has already been
paired to your vehicle's system, the system
announces the name the phone is already us-
ing. The pairing procedure will then be can-
celed.
When prompted by the system, choose from the
following commands:
cªNew phoneº Ð see ªPAIRING PROCEDUREº
earlier in this section.
c ªReplace phoneº Ð The system announces
the names of the phones already paired and
asks which you would like to replace.
Once you say the name of the phone you
wish to replace, the paring procedure will
begin. (See ªPAIRING PROCEDUREº earlier in
this section.)
c ªList phoneº Ð See the description below.
ªList Phonesº
Use the List Phone command to hear the names
of the phones currently paired. If no phones are
paired, the system announces, ªNo paired
phones to list.º The system then ends the VR
session. ªSelect Phoneº
Use the Select Phone command to select a
phone of lesser priority when two or more
phones paired with Bluetooth
THands-Free
Phone System are in the vehicle at the same
time.
The system asks you to name the phone and
confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the selected
phone remains active until the ignition switch is
pushed to the LOCK position or you select a new
phone.
ªChange Priorityº
Use the Change Priority command to change the
priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired Bluetooth T
phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the active
phone and asks for a new priority level (1, 2, 3,
4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being used for
another phone, the two phones will swap prior-
ity levels. For example, if the current priority levels are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C
and you change the priority level of Phone C to
Level 1, then: Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A
ªDelete Phoneº
Use the Delete Phone command to delete a
specific phone or all phones from the
BluetoothT Hands-Free Phone System.
The system announces the names of the phones
already paired with the system and their priority
level. The system then gives you the option to
delete a specific phone, all phones or listen to
the list again.
Once you chose to delete a phone or all phones,
the system asks you to confirm this action.
NOTE:
When you delete a phone, the associated phone-
book for that phone will also be deleted.

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 capable of storing a different
speaker adaptation 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 quietoutdoor 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 adap-
tation mode.º
5. Press the
button.
6. Voice memory A or memory B is selected automatically. If both memory locations
are already in use, the system will prompt
you to overwrite one. Follow the instruc-
tions provided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, the press the
but-
ton.
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 register
your name.
11. The system will announce that speaker adaptation has been completed and the
system is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
cThe
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
c The vehicle is driven during SA mode.
c The ignition switch is pushed to the 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.)
cphonebook new entry
c dial three oh four two nine
c delete call back number
c setup pair phone
c memo pad play

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.
SymptomSolution
System fails to interpret the com-
mand correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See ªLIST OF VOICE COMMANDSº earlier in this section.)
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the
vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is
too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to
improve the recognition response for the speaker. (See ªSPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODEº earlier in this section.)
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the ªList
Namesº command. (See ªPHONEBOOKº earlier in this section.)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the systems equipped on this
vehicle in one of two modes, Standard Mode or
Alternate Command Mode.
In Standard Mode, commands that are available
are always shown on the display and an-
nounced by the system. You can complete your
desired operation by simply following the
prompts given by the system. (See ªINFINITI
VOICE RECOGNITION STANDARD MODEº later in
this section for details.) In this mode, hands-
free operation of Audio, Climate Control and
Display is not available through INFINITI Voice
Recognition.
For advanced operation, you can use the Alter-
nate Command Mode that enables the opera-
tion of the display, audio, and climate control
through INFINITI Voice Recognition. (See
ªINFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE COM-
MAND MODEº later in this section for details.)
When this mode is active, an expanded list of
commands can be spoken after pushing the
TALK
switch, and the voice command
menu prompts are turned off. Note that in this
mode the recognition success rate may be
affected as the number of available commands
and the ways of speaking each command are
increased. For U.S. customers, the Standard Mode is se-
lected by default. For Canadian customers, the
Alternate Command Mode is the default mode.
To switch one mode to another, see each mode
description later in this section.
To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using
the Speaker Adaptation Function available in
that mode. Otherwise, it is recommended that
Alternate Command Mode be turned off and
Standard Mode be used for the best recognition
performance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System Owner's
Manual of your vehicle.
INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE
The following section is applicable when the
Standard Mode is activated. (This mode is
selected by default for U.S. customers.)
The Standard Mode enables you to complete
the desired operation by simply following the
prompts that appear on the display and also are
announced by the system. Hands-free operation
of Audio, Climate Control and Display systems
is not available in this mode.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which takes a few seconds. When com-
pleted, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushed before the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: ªPhonetic data down-
loaded. Please wait.º or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from
INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
c
The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and
vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent
the system from correctly recognizing the
voice commands.
c Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
c Speak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
c If the air conditioner is set to ªAutoº, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.
Giving voice commands
1. Push the TALKswitch located on the
steering wheel.
