chooses to delete a phone or all phones, the
system asks the user to confirm.
NOTE:
When the user deletes a phone, the associated
phone book for that phone will also be deleted.
● Replace Phone
Use the Replace Phone command to change
the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is
active when more than one paired
Bluetooth 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
priority 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
● Bluetooth On/Off
Use the Bluetooth On/Off command to turn
on/off Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem.
● Help
The system announces the available com-
mands.
VOICE ADAPTATION MODE
The Voice Adaptation mode allows up to two
users with different dialects 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 voice adaptation model for each con-
nected phone.
Training procedure
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 the
button.
4. Speak: “Help”. The system acknowledges the command and announces the next set
of available commands.
5. Speak: Voice Adaptation. The system
acknowledges the command and displays
the voice adaptation mode screen.
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, press the
button.
8. The voice adaptation mode will be ex- plained. 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 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 turned to 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.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is initial-
ized, which may take up to one minute. When
completed, the system is ready to accept voice
commands. If the TALK
switch is pushedbefore the initialization completes, the display
will show the message: “System not ready.” or
a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best recognition performance from
INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe the follow-
ing:
●
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.
● Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.
● Speak in a natural conversational voice with-
out pausing between words.
● If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, 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.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-111

2. A list of commands appears on thescreen, and the system announces,
“Would you like to access Phone, Naviga-
tion, Information, Audio or Help?”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from
to,
speak a command.
Selecting the “Practice” key will start the
practice mode. See “Let’s Practice” earlier in
this section.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone sounds
until your desired operation is completed.
Selecting the “Help ” key can display the
detailed information of the each command. Operating tips :
●
Say a command after the tone.
● Commands that are available are always
shown on the display and spoken through
voice menu prompts. Commands other than
those that are displayed are not accepted.
Please follow the prompts given by the
system.
● If the command is not recognized, the sys-
tem announces, “Please say again”. Repeat
the command in a clear voice.
● Push the BACK button once to return to the
previous screen.
● To exit the voice recognition system, push
and hold the TALK
switch. The mes-
sage, “Voice canceled” will be announced.
● To skip the voice guidance function and give
the command immediately, press the TALK
switch to interrupt the system. Re-
member to speak after the tone.
● If you want to adjust the volume of the
system feedback, push the volume control
buttons [+] or [] on the steering switch or
use the audio system volume knob while the
system is making an announcement. How to speak numbers :
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers when giving voice com-
mands. Refer to the following examples.
General rule
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used. (For
example, if you would like to say 500, “five zero
zero” can be used, but “five hundred” cannot.)
Examples
●
1-800-662-6200
– “One eight zero zero six six two six two zero zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers
You can improve the recognition of phone num-
bers by saying the phone number in three
groups of numbers. For example, when you try
to call 800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero”
first, and the system will then ask you for the
next three digits. Then, say “six six two”. After
recognition, the system will then ask for the last
four digits. Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this
method of phone digit entry can improve recog-
nition performance.
SAA2535
4-112Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

When speaking a house number, speak the
number “0” as “zero”. If the letter “o (Oh)” is
included in the house number, it will not be
recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
speak “oh” instead of “zero”.Please speak
“zero” for the number “0 (zero)”, “oh” for the
letter “o (oh)”
Send digits using dial tone :
● Press the TALK
switch during a phone
call.
● The menu will be launched and you will be
provided with the following guidance:
“Please say the digits to dial”.
● After guidance, say the digits of the number
you want to send. After this, the digits that
have been recognized will be read out.
● If you press the ENTER button on the steering
wheel or on the INFINITI controller, the se-
lected digits will be sent.
