LHA0708
4-46Display screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and phone systems
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with
the previously connected cellular phone turned on
and carried in the vehicle.
You can connect up to 5 different Bluetooth
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
Before using the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● Set up the wireless connection between a
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the hands-free phone
system.
●
Some Bluetooth enabled cellular phones may
not be recognized by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. Please visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth
for a recommended phone list and connecting
instructions.
● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the cellular ser- vice area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive a cellular signal; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground parking
garage, near a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area. – 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 dur-
ing 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 connection
disruption.
● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System cannot charge
cellular phones.
● If the hands-free phone system seems to be
malfunctioning, see “Troubleshooting guide”
later in this section. You can also visit
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.
● Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise. ●
Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone charges, cellular
phone antenna and body, etc.

USING THE SYSTEM
The NISSAN Voice Recognition system allows
hands-free operation of the Bluetooth Phone
System.
If the vehicle is in motion, some commands may
not be available so full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Initialization
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, NISSAN Voice Recognition is initialized,
which takes a few seconds. If the
button is
pressed before the initialization completes, the
system will announce “Hands-free phone system
not ready” and will not react to voice commands.
Operating tips
To get the best performance out of the NISSAN
Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
● 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.
● Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
● Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.
● Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice commands
To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, press
and release the
button located on the
steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the micro-
phone, and voice feedback is given when the
command is accepted.
● If you need to hear the available commands
for the current menu again, say “Help” and
the system will repeat them. ●
If a command is not recognized, the system
announces, “Command not recognized.
Please try again.” Repeat the command in a
clear voice.
● If you want to go back to the previous com-
mand, you can say “Go back” or “Correc-
tion” any time the system is waiting for a
response.
● You can cancel a command when the sys-
tem is waiting for a response by saying,
“Cancel” or “Quit.” The system announces
“Cancel” and ends the VR session. You can
also press and hold the
button on the
steering wheel for 5 seconds at any time to
end the VR session. Whenever the VR ses-
sion is cancelled, a double beep is played to
indicate you have exited the system.
● If you want to adjust the volume of the voice
feedback, press the volume control switches
(+ or -) on the steering wheel while being
provided with feedback. You can also use
the radio volume control knob.
● In most cases you can interrupt the voice
feedback to speak the next command by
pressing the
button on the steering
wheel.

SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE
Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of-
dialect users to train the system to improve rec-
ognition 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 each connected phone.
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 run- ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in P (Park) .
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press 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 dif-
ferent language.”
5. Press the
button. For information on selecting a different lan-
guage, see “Choosing a language” in this
section.
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 instructions pro-
vided by the system.
7. When preparation is complete and you are ready to begin, 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 announce that speaker ad- aptation has been completed and the sys-
tem is ready.
The SA mode will stop if:
● The
button is pressed for more than 5
seconds in SA mode.
● The vehicle begins moving during SA mode.
● The ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
LOCK position.
Training phrases
During the SA mode, the system instructs the
trainer to say the following phrases. (The system
will prompt you for each phrase.)
● phonebook transfer entry
● dial three oh four two nine
● delete call back number
● incoming
● transfer entry
● eight pause nine three two pause seven
● delete all entries
● call seven two four zero nine
● phonebook delete entry
● next entry
● dial star two one seven oh
