Before starting GUID-7DB9459E-5E05-4436-B216-389BE3A0E1BC
To get the best recognition performance
from INFINITI Voice Recognition, observe
the following:
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com-
mands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words. . If the air conditioner is set to “ Auto ” ,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that your commands can be recog-
nized more easily.

How to speak numbers: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers when giving
voice commands. 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
numbers 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

tion performance.
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: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
. Press the TALK switch during a
phone call.
. The menu will be launched and you will
be provided with the following gui-
dance: "Please say the digits to dial".
. After guidance, say the digits of the

the digits that have been recognized
will be read out.
. If you press the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the INFINITI con-
troller, the selected digits will be sent.

(7 continuous digits), if the area code
is not necessary. However, the 3-3-4

the 3-3-4 grouping, 7 digits, and 10

code when speaking phone numbers.
. If the system does not recognize your
command, please try repeating the
command using a natural voice. Speak-
ing too slow or too loudly may further
decrease recognition performance.
