USING VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, Voice Recognition is initia-
lized, which may take up to one minute.
When completed, the system is ready to
accept voice commands. If <TALK
>is
pushed before the initialization completes,
the display will show the message: “Sys-
tem not ready”.
BEFORE STARTING
To get the best recognition performance
out of Voice Recognition, observe the
following:
. The interior of the vehicle should be as
quiet as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noise and vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
correctly recognizing the voice com-
mands.
. Wait until the tone sounds before
speaking a command.
. Speak in a natural conversational voice
without pausing between words.

GIVING VOICE COMMANDS
1. Push <TALK>located on the steering
wheel.
IVR01092. A list of commands appears on the screen, and the system announces,
“Please say a command”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from [
] to [],
speak a command.
Operating tips
. If the command is not recognized, the
system announces, “Please say again”.
Repeat the command in a clear voice.
. Push <BACK> once to return to the
previous screen.
. To cancel the command, push and hold
<TALK
>. The message, “Voice can-
celed” will be announced.
. Push <TALK
>to stop the voice
prompt and give the command at once.
Remember to wait for the tone before
speaking.
. To adjust the volume of the system
feedback, push the volume control
buttons [+] or [−] on the steering wheel
or use the audio system volume control
knob while the system is making an
announcement.
How to speak numbers
INFINITI Voice Recognition requires a cer-
tain way to speak numbers when giving
voice commands. Refer to the following
examples. General rule:
Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.
For example, to speak 500,
“five zero zero”
can be used, but “five hundred”cannot.
Examples:
1-800-662-6200
“One eight zero zero six six two six two
zero zero”
Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:
Recognition of phone numbers can be
improved by speaking the phone number
in 3 groups of numbers. For example, to
call 800-662-6200, speak “Eight Zero
Zero” first, and the system will then ask
to speak the next three digits. Then, speak
“Six Six Two”. After recognition, the
system will then ask to speak the last 4
digits. Speak, “Six Two Zero Zero”. Using
this method of phone digit entry can
improve recognition performance.INFO:
For best recognition, speak “zero”for the
number “0”and “oh” for the letter “o”.
