To prevent a deterioration in the voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points should be observed:
 The voice recognition cannot be
performed while voice guidance or

sound is finished before saying your
commands. Phone related commands are available
only when your phone is connected via
Bluetooth®. Make sure your phone is
connected via Bluetooth® before you
operate phone related voice commands. Music play commands, such as Play
