4-94Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
Once a cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-
necting procedure is required anymore.
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.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system
supports the phone commands, so dialing
a phone number using your voice is
possible. For more details, see “INFINITI
Voice Recognition system (models with
navigation system)” later in this section;
page 4-118.
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 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
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
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
impossible 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 con-
nection, the battery power of the
cellular phone may discharge quicker
than usual.
. If the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
please visit www.InfinitiUSA.com/blue-
tooth for troubleshooting help.
. Some cellular phones or other devices
may cause interference or a buzzing
noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a
different location may reduce or elim-
inate the noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone,
battery charging, cellular phone anten-
na, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor will
not coincide with the antenna display
of some cellular phones.

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.

Using system
Initialization:
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, Voice Recognition System is
initialized, which may take up to one
minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If the
switch on the steering wheel is pushed
before the initialization completes, the
system will not accept any command.

existing phone. If the user tries to
connect a phone that has already been
connected to the vehicle system, the
system announces the name that the
phone is already using. The connecting
procedure will then be cancelled.
The Add Phone command is not avail-
able when the vehicle is moving.
. Select Phone
Use the Select Phone command to
select a phone of lesser priority when
two or more phones connected with
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System
are in the vehicle at the same time.
The system asks the user to name the
phone and confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the
selected phone remains active until the
ignition switch is turned OFF or a new
phone is selected.
. Delete Phone
Use the Delete Phone command to
delete a specific phone or all phones
from Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System. The system announces the
names of the phones already paired
with the system and their priority level.
The system then gives the option to
delete a specific phone, all phones or listen to the list again. Once the user
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
