AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select button
to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition switch
should be pushed to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception :
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle,
even when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given reception area, and do not indicate any mal-
function in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, ter-
rain, signal distance and interference from
other vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
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.
FM radio reception :
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance between the transmitter and re-
ceiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path,
exhibiting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to
fade and/or drift. SAA0306

Once a cellular phone is connected to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone connecting
procedure is required anymore. Your phone is
automatically connected with the in-vehicle
phone module when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ON position with the registered
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth 
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular
phone at a time.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system supports
the phone commands, so dialing a phone num-
ber using your voice is possible. For more
details, see “INFINITI VOICE RECOGNITION SYS-
TEM (models with navigation system)” later in
this section; page 4-109.
Before using the Bluetooth  Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
● 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/bluetooth for a recom-
mended phone list. ● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone
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 ga-
rage, behind a tall building or in a moun-
tainous area.
– Your cellular phone is locked in order not
to be dialed.
● 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
pushed to the ON position, it may be impos-
sible 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 bat-
tery power of the cellular phone may dis-
charge quicker than usual. ● If the Bluetooth  Hands-Free Phone System
seems to be malfunctioning, please visit
www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth for trouble-
shooting help.
● Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor-
ing 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 will not
coincide with the antenna 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, ad-
justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity.
