AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
•The driver must not attempt to operate the
audio system while the vehicle is in motion,
so that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
•Park the vehicle in a safe location and apply
the parking brake before operating the au-
dio system and playing movies (if
equipped).
CAUTION
•Operate the audio system only when the
vehicle engine is running. Operating the au-
dio system for extended periods of time
with the engine turned off can discharge the
vehicle battery.
•Do not allow the system to get wet. Exces-
sive moisture such as spilled liquids may
cause the system to malfunction.
Radio
Turn the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio when the engine is not
running, the ignition switch should be pushed
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality are normally caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep-
tion. These circuits are designed to extend
reception range, and to enhance the quality of
that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle,
even when the best quality equipment is used.
These characteristics are completely normal in
a given reception area, and do not indicate any
malfunction in your radio system.Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can adversely affect ideal recep-
tion. Described below are some of the factors
that can affect 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.

INFINITI Voice Recognition system later in
this section
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 wire-
less LAN functions at the same time may
slow down or disrupt communications and
could cause undesired noise. It is recom-
mended that you turn wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) off
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
•Set up the wireless connection between a
compatible cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Bluetooth®
