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 command
correctly. 1. Ensure that the command is valid. (See
“INFINITI Voice Recognition System (models with navigation system)” (P.4-120).)
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.
The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See
“Vehicle phonebook”(P.4-97).)
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

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 vehicle operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote full
attention 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 module. 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 con-
necting procedure is required. 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 Blue-
tooth
®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 number using your voice is
possible.
Before using the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes.
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®
and the wireless LAN functions at the
same time may slow down or discon-
nect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended
that you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-
Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®func-
tions.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Blue-
tooth
®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
recommended phone list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele-
phone 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 garage, behind a tall build-
ing or in a mountainous 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

Bluetooth®HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM
(models without navigation system)

4-120Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the Phone, Navigation,
Information and Audio systems 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 announced by the system. You can
complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system.
(See“INFINITI Voice Recognition Standard
Mode” (P.4-120) for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See “INFINITI
Voice Recognition Alternate Command
Mode” (P.4-132) 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 perfor-
mance.
For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System
Owner’s Manual of your vehicle.
