5. Hands-Free Phone
BLUETOOTH® HANDS-FREE
PHONE SYSTEM
WARNING
.Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have
to use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention 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 to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone after starting the engine or the
hybrid system.
Your vehicle is equipped with 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 Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, 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
connecting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automati-
cally selected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is pushed
to the “ON” position with the selected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Blue-
tooth® cellular phones in 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.“10. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
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 Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
Please visit www.infinitiusa.com/blue-
tooth/search for a recommended phone
list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele- phone service area.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves; such
as in a tunnel, in an underground
parking garage, behind a tall building
or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
5-2

.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.
. This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band Speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over Blue-
tooth®. To take advantage of this fea-
ture, the mobile device should be used on
a carrier supporting Adaptive Multi-Rate
Wideband (AMR-WB) or HD Voice
technology. The performance of AMR-
WB may vary by carrier and calling area.
Consult your mobile carrier if you experi-
ence issues with call quality or connec-
tion.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
pushed to 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 disruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the cellular phone may discharge quicker than usual.
. If the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System seems to be malfunctioning,
please visit www.infinitiusa.com/blue-
tooth for troubleshooting help.
. 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 differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery 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.
