OPERATING TIPS
.When the shift lever is shifted to the “R”
(Reverse) position, the monitor screen
automatically changes to the RearView
monitor mode. However, the radio can
be heard.
. It may take some time until the Rear-
View monitor is displayed after the shift
lever has been shifted to “R”from
another position or to another position
from “R”. Objects may be distorted
momentarily until the RearView monitor
screen is displayed completely.
. When the temperature is extremely high
or low, the screen may not clearly
display objects. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
. When strong light directly enters the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
. Vertical lines may be seen in objects on
the screen. This is due to strong
reflected light from the bumper. This

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be pushed to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finestequipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
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 eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC)
Explanation of terms:
. MP3 —MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed digital audio file format. This format
allows for near
“CD quality”sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people.
. WMA —Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A —Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate —Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency —Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession —Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than
once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag —The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.

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.

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

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

the system to improve recognition accu-
racy. 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 connected
