is making an announcement.
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 “Phone-
book” .
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 com-
mands.
. 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 associated with the phone number and
name in the phonebook. Using the voice
tag will automatically 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 previously stored in the phone-
book.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the
following procedure. 1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a
command after the beep. Available
commands are: Call, Phonebook, Re-
cent Calls, Connect 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
command, repeat it according to the
recommendations mentioned in “How
to speak commands ”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.
Manual command selection:
Commands can be selected manually.
While the commands are displayed on the

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which can take up to one
minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If the
TALK
switch is pushed before 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 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:
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.
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-119

4-120Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
Say,“six two zero zero ”. Using this method
of phone digit entry can improve recogni-
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:
. 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
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 con-
troller, the selected digits will be sent.
