Co-location:This transmitter must not be co-
located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
IC Regulatory information (for Canada)
The antenna cannot be removed (and changed)
by user.
This device complies with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s) . Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
CAUTION: Radio Frequency Radiation Expo-
sure
This equipment complies with IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled envir-
onment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment
has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to
comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE) . But it is desirable that it should
be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and
more between the radiator and person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and
ankles.) Co-location:
This transmitter must not be co-
located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This Class B digital apparatus meets all require-
ments of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.

and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can bounce off the
ionosphere and be bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics, AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception (for
U.S.)
HD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
“Radio Menu” (page 3-16)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available) , providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When this
feature is not activated or HD Radio broadcasts
are not available, you will receive analog radio
(AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception (for U.S. and
Canada)
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with
the satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of
any metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
SiriusXM services require a subscription after
trial period and are sold separately or as a
package. The satellite service is available only in
the 48 contiguous USA and DC. SiriusXM
satellite service is also available in Canada; see
www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna can
affect satellite radio performance. Remove the
ice to restore satellite radio reception.
3. Audio system

— Your cellular phone is locked in order toprevent 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 during a call.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, 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 disrup-
tion.
. While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the
battery power of the cellular phone may
discharge quicker than usual.
. For U.S. and Canada:
Visit the website below for troubleshooting
help if the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning.
www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/
. For Mexico:
If the Bluetooth
ŠHands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, it is recom-
mended you consult a NISSAN dealer for support.
. 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.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging,
cellular phone antenna, etc.
. The antenna display on the monitor may not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.
. The battery display on the monitor may not
coincide with the battery display of some
cellular phones.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.
. The microphone is located near the map
light.
. Reduce background noise as much as
possible by closing windows and pointing HVAC vents away from the ceiling.

8. Troubleshooting guide
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Each volume level (ring tone, incoming voice or
outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between the
navigation screen and a cellular phone screen.
Making or receiving a call is unavailable even
though the antenna display shows that it is
possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the model
of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna display
and remaining battery level shown on the navigation screen
may be different from those shown on the cellular phone
screen. Use them as a reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using a
cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or comple-
tely shut out radio waves that are used for cellular
phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads, high
voltage electric power cables, traffic signals,
neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from radio
devices may adversely affect the cellular phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular phone
may adversely affect the sound from the audio
system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skips or stutters. The cellular phone may have turned on the wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).
Phonebook cannot be downloaded. An error occurred during the phone pairing process. Please delete the Bluetooth
Špairing information from both
the mobile phone and vehicle system before registering it
again.
Phone does not support phonebook download
function. Visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/ to check
compatibility.
