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.
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an
owner of a Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone
and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth
®wireless technology, you can
make or receive a telephone call with your
cellular phone in your pocket. Once your cellular phone is paired to the
in-vehicle phone module, no phone con-
necting procedure is required. 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 Blue-
tooth
®cellular phones in the in-vehicle
phone module. However, you can talk on
only one cellular phone at a time.
When a call is active, the audio system and
microphone (located in the ceiling in front
of the rearview mirror) are used for the
handsfree communications.
If the audio system is being used at the
time, the audio mode will mute and will
stay muted until the active call is ended.
The INFINITI Voice Recognition system
supports the phone commands, so dialing
a phone number using your voice is
possible.
Before using the Bluetooth
®Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a cellular phone and the in-vehicle
phone module before using the Blue- tooth
®Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth®enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module.
. 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 build-
ing or in a mountainous 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
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.

the steering wheel or use the audio
system volume knob while the system
is making an announcement.
How to speak commands:
The Voice Recognition System requires a
certain way to speak voice commands.
Speak normally and clearly in the direction
of the microphone (located in front of the
rearview mirror). Every digit of the number
must be spoken individually and in a
normal manner. The hands-free mode will
work best when the telephone number is
spoken in blocks of three to five digits.
After each spoken block is terminated, the
system will repeat the three to five digits
and wait for you to speak the next digit or
block of digits required for the telephone
number.
See “List of voice commands ”later in this
section for the appropriate commands that
can be spoken for the hands-free mode
system.
Example:
In order to initiate a call, speak “Phone-
book” .
INFO
. If you are controlling the telephone
system by voice command for the first time or do not know the appropriate
voice command, speak
“Help ”.The
system announces the available com-
mands.
. When you speak numbers, you can
speak both “zero ”or “oh ”for “0 ”.
Personal vocabulary (voicetags):
Voice Recognition System is equipped with
the function called “voicetags ”, which can
be associated with the phone number and
name in the phonebook. Using the voice
tag will automatically generate a speed
dial to the registered number.
See “Phonebook registration ”earlier in
this section.
You can call the identified number using
the following command: “Dial ”followed by
the voice tag.
Dialling a name with a voice tag:
It is possible to call up a name via a voice
tag instead of a number, provided the
name and number of your correspondent
has been previously stored in the phone-
book.
Dial via a voice tag, according to the
following procedure. 1. Push theswitch.
2. The system replies “please say a
command after the beep. Available
commands are: Call, Phonebook, Re-
cent Calls, Connect Phone or Help ”.
3. Give your instructions to the system by saying: “Dial John ”for example ( “John ”
must have been previously set as a
voice tag for John ’s phone number) or
“ Dial One” if John is classified as one in
the phonebook.
If the system cannot understand your
command, repeat it according to the
recommendations mentioned in “How
to speak commands ”earlier in this
section.
4. If the given name (voice tag) is correct, the phone system will dial the number
registered for “John ”.
INFO
To end the voice command phase at any
stage of the procedure, push the
switch once in order to activate the cancel
command.
Manual command selection:
Commands can be selected manually.

connected to the vehicle system, the
system announces the name that the
phone is already using. The connecting
procedure will then be cancelled.
The Add Phone command is not avail-
able when the vehicle is moving.
. Select Phone
Use the Select Phone command to
select a phone of lesser priority when
two or more phones connected with
Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone System
are in the vehicle at the same time.
The system asks the user to name the
phone and confirm the selection.
Once the selection is confirmed, the
selected phone remains active until the
ignition switch is turned OFF or a new
phone is selected.
. Delete Phone
Use the Delete Phone command to
delete a specific phone or all phones
from Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System. The system announces the
names of the phones already paired
with the system and their priority level.
The system then gives the option to
delete a specific phone, all phones or listen to the list again. Once the user
chooses to delete a phone or all
phones, the system asks the user to
confirm.
NOTE:
When the user deletes a phone, the
associated phone book for that phone will
also be deleted.
. Replace Phone
Use the Replace Phone command to
change the priority level of the active
phone.
The priority level determines which
phone is active when more than one
paired Bluetooth
®phone is in the
vehicle.
The system states the priority level of
the active phone and asks for a new
priority level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being
used for another phone, the two
phones will swap priority levels.
For example, if the current priority
levels are:
Priority Level 1 = Phone A
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone C and you change the priority level of
Phone C to Level 1, then:
Priority Level 1 = Phone C
Priority Level 2 = Phone B
Priority Level 3 = Phone A

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, if you would like to say 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
You can improve the recognition of phone
numbers by saying the phone number in
three groups of numbers. For example,
when you try to call 800-662-6200, say
“ eight zero zero ”first, and the system will
then ask you for the next three digits. Then,
say “six six two ”. After recognition, the
system will then ask for the last four digits.
