of a compatible Bluetooth Tenabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless connection
between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module. With BluetoothT wireless tech-
nology, you can make or receive a telephone
call with your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once your cellular phone is paired to the in-
vehicle phone module, no phone connecting
procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle phone module when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different BluetoothT
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible. For more
details, see ªINFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM (models with navigation system)º later in
this section; page 4-98.
Before using the Bluetooth
THands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
c Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the BluetoothT
Hands-Free Phone System.
c Some Bluetooth Tenabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list.
