.The iPod nano®(1st Generation) may
remain in fast forward or rewind mode if it
is connected during a seek operation. In this
case, please manually reset the iPod
®.
. If you are using an iPod®(3rd Generation
with Dock connector) , do not use very long
names for the song title, album name or
artist name to avoid the iPod
®from resetting
itself.
. Be careful not to do the following, or the
cable could be damaged and a loss of
function may occur.
— Bend the cable excessively (1.6 in (40
mm) radius minimum).
— Twist the cable excessively (more than 180 degrees) .
— Pull or drop the cable.
— Store objects with sharp edges in the storage where the cable is stored.
— Spill liquids on the cable and connectors.
. Do not connect the cable to the iPod
®if the
cable and/or connectors are wet. It may
damage the iPod
®.
. If the cable and connectors are exposed to
water, allow the cable and/or connectors to
dry completely before connecting the cable
to the iPod
®(wait 24 hours for it to dry) . .
If the connector is exposed to fluids other
than water, evaporative residue may cause a
short between the connector pins. In this
case, replace the cable, otherwise damage
to the iPod
®and a loss of function may
occur.
. If the cable is damaged (insulation cut,
connectors cracked, contamination such as
liquids, dust, dirt, etc. in the connectors) , do
not use the cable and contact a NISSAN
dealer to replace the cable with a new one.
. When not in use for extended periods of
time, store the cable in a clean, dust free
environment at room temperature and with-
out direct sun exposure.
. Do not use the cable for any other purposes
other than its intended use in the vehicle.

Compact Disc (CD) with MP3 or WMA
(if so equipped)
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 from CD-ROM can reduce the
file size by approximately 10:1 ratio (Sam-
pling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3
compression removes the redundant and
irrelevant parts of a sound signal that the
human ear doesn’t hear.
. WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Micro-
soft as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression 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.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of
bits per second used by a digital music files.
The size and quality of a compressed digital
audio file is determined by the bit rate used
when encoding the file.

.Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency
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 information is displayed on the
Album/Artist/Track title line on the display.

commands.
.“Help” — The system announces the avail-
able commands.
. “Go back/Correction” — The system an-
nounces “Go back,” ends the VR session
and returns to the call.
. “Cancel/Quit” — The system announces
“Cancel,” ends the VR session and returns
to the call.
. “Send/Enter/Call/Dial” — Use the Send
command to enter numbers, “*” or “#”
during a call. For example, if you were
directed to dial an extension by an auto-
mated system:
Say: “Send one two three four.”
The system acknowledges the command
and sends the tones associated with the
numbers. The system then ends the VR
session and returns to the call. Say “star” for
“*”, say “pound” for “#”.
. “Transfer call” — Use the Transfer Call
command to transfer the call from the
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System to
the cellular phone when privacy is desired.
The system announces, “Transfer call. Call
transferred to privacy mode.” The system
then ends the VR session.
To reconnect a call from the cellular phone
to the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone sys- tem, push the
button.
. “Mute” — Use the Mute command to mute
your voice so the other party cannot hear it.
Use the mute command again to unmute
your voice.
NOTE:
If a call is ended or the cellular phone
network connection is lost while the Mute
feature is on, the Mute feature will be reset
to “off” for the next call so the other party
can hear your voice.
Phonebook (phones without automatic
phonebook download function)
“Transfer Entry”*A
Use the Transfer Entry command to store a new
name in the system.
When prompted by the system, say the name
you would like to give the new entry.
For example, say: “Mary.”
If the name is too long or too short, the system
tells you, then prompts you for a name again. Also, if the name sounds too much like a name
already stored, the system tells you, then
prompts you for a name again.
The system will ask you to transfer a phone
number stored in the cellular phone’s memory.
To enter a phone number by voice command:
For example, say: “five five five one two one
two.” See “How to say numbers” earlier in this
section for more information.
To transfer a phone number stored in the cellular
phone’s memory:
Say: “Transfer entry.” The system acknowledges
the command and asks you to initiate the
transfer from the phone handset. The new
contact phone number will be transferred from
the cellular phone via the Bluetooth
®commu-
nication link.
The transfer procedure varies according to each
cellular phone. See the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual for details. You can also visit www.
nissanusa.com/bluetooth for instructions on
transferring phone numbers from NISSAN re-
commended cellular phones.
The system repeats the number and prompts
you for the next command. When you have
finished entering numbers or transferring an
entry, choose “Store.”
