pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
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 “INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM (models with navigation system)” later in
this section; page 4-109.
Before using the BluetoothHands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System.
● Some Bluetooth enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. Please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list. ●
You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order not to be 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.
● Immediately after the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position, it may be impos-
sible to receive a call for a short period of
time.
● 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.
● If the Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.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 pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
● The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
● If reception between callers is unclear, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.

WARNING
●Use a phone after stopping your vehicle in a
safe location. If you have to use a phone
while driving, exercise extreme caution at all
times so full attention may be given to ve-
hicle operation.
● If you find yourself unable to devote full at-
tention to vehicle operation while talking on
the phone, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a Bluetooth enabled cellular phone, you can
set up the wireless connection between your
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule. With Bluetooth wireless technology, 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. Your phone is automati-
cally connected with the in-vehicle phone mod- ule 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 Bluetooth
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front of the
rearview mirror) are used for the handsfree
communications.
If the audio system is being used at the time,
the audio mode will mute and will stay muted
until the active call is ended.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible.
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 Bluetooth Hands-
Free Phone System.
● Some Bluetooth enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. ●
You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone service area.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order not to be dialed.

tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual.
BLUETOOTH HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
(models without navigation system)
4-96Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

How to speak commands :
The Voice Recognition System requires a certain
way to speak voice commands. Speak normally
and clearly in the direction of the microphone
(located in front of the rearview mirror). Every
digit of the number must be spoken individually
and in a normal manner. The hands-free mode
will work best when the telephone number is
spoken in blocks of three to five digits. After
each spoken block is terminated, the system
will repeat the three to five digits and wait for
you to speak the next digit or block of digits
required for the telephone number.
See “List of voice commands” later in this
section for the appropriate commands that can
be spoken for the hands-free mode system.
Example:
In order to initiate a call, speak “Phonebook”.
INFO
●If you are controlling the telephone system
by voice command for the first time or do not
know the appropriate voice command, speak
“Help”. The system announces the available
commands.
● When you speak numbers, you can speak
both “zero” or “oh” for “0”. Personal vocabulary (voicetags) :
Voice Recognition System is equipped with the
function called “voicetags”, which can be asso-
ciated with the phone number and name in the
phonebook. Using the voice tag will automati-
cally generate a speed dial to the registered
number.
See “PHONEBOOK REGISTRATION” earlier in
this section.
You can call the identified number using the
following command: “Dial” followed by the
voice tag.
Dialling a name with a voice tag :
It is possible to call up a name via a voice tag
instead of a number, provided the name and
number of your correspondent has been previ-
ously stored in the phonebook.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the following
procedure.
1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a com- mand after the beep. Available commands
are: Call, Phonebook, Recent Calls, Con-
nect Phone or Help”. 3. Give your instructions to the system by
saying: “Dial John” for example (“John”
must have been previously set as a voice
tag for John’s phone number) or “Dial
One” if John is classified as one in the
phonebook.
If the system cannot understand your com-
mand, repeat it according to the recommen-
dations mentioned in “How to speak com-
mands” earlier in this section.
4. If the given name (voice tag) is correct, the phone system will dial the number
registered for “John”.
INFO
To end the voice command phase at any stage
of the procedure, push the
switch once
in order to activate the cancel command.

10. The system will ask you to say yourname. Follow the instructions to register
your name.
11. The system will announce that voice ad- aptation has been completed and the
system is ready.
The voice adaptation mode will stop if:
●The
button is pressed in voice adap-
tation mode.
● The vehicle is driven during voice adaptation
mode.
● The ignition switch is placed in the OFF or
LOCK position. INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-free
operation of the Phone, Navigation, Information
and Audio systems in one of two modes, Stan-
dard 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 “INFINITI
VOICE RECOGNITION STANDARD MODE” later in
this section for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the Alter-
nate Command Mode. (See “INFINITI VOICE REC-
OGNITION ALTERNATE COMMAND MODE” 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. Review the expanded command list,
which is available when this mode is active.
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.
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.
The voice recognition system cannot be oper-
ated when the retractable hard top is not
closed.
INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION
STANDARD MODE
The following section is applicable when the
Standard Mode is activated.
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.
