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.
