radio chassis to the body.
● For additional information,, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI re-
tailer for servicing.
WARNING
●Only use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have to
use a phone while driving, exercise ex-
treme caution at all times so full atten-
tion 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 in
a safe location and stop your vehicle
before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, only
use a phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an owner
of a compatible Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless connection
between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module. With Bluetooth® wireless tech-
nology, you can make or receive a telephone call
with your cellular phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for con-
necting the phone does not need to be per-
formed again. Your phone is automatically
selected by the in-vehicle phone module when the ignition switch is switched to the ON position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to five different Bluetooth®
cellular phones to the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.
The Voice Recognition system supports phone
commands, so dialing a phone number using
your voice is possible. For additional information,
refer to “Voice Recognition system” in this
manual.
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
(2.4GHz) . 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®
Hands-Free Pone System.
BLUETOOTH® HANDS-FREE PHONE
SYSTEM
4-116Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
●Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module. It is recommended that you
contact an INFINITI retailer for phone com-
patibility.
● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside the service area for your cellular phone network.
– Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves, such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
● 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 dur-
ing a call. ●
This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over
Bluetooth®. To take advantage of this fea-
ture, the cellular device should be used on a
carrier supporting Adaptive MultiRate Wide-
band (AMR-WB) or HD voice technology.
The performance of AMR-WB may vary by
carrier and calling area. Consult your cellular
carrier if you experience issues with call
quality or connection.
● Immediately after the ignition switch is
turned ON, 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 connection, the
battery of the cellular phone may discharge
quicker than usual.
● If the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone Sys-
tem seems to be malfunctioning, it is recom-
mended that you contact an INFINITI dealer
for troubleshooting help. ●
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to be
emitted from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.
● Refer to the owner’s manual for the cellular
phone for information regarding the tele-
phone pairing procedure specific to your
phone, battery charging , and cellular phone
antenna, etc.
● The antenna display on the monitor may not
match the antenna display of some cellular
phones.
● The battery display on the monitor may not
match the battery display of some cellular
phones.
● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to her the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize echoes.
● If reception between callers is unclear, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.
