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.

USING THE SYSTEM
Initialization
When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position, INFINITI Voice Recognition is
initialized, which may take up to one
minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If the
TALK
switch is pushed before the
initialization completes the display will
show the message: “System not ready. ”
or a beep sounds.
Before starting
To get the best performance from INFINITI
Voice Recognition, observe the following.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to
eliminate the surrounding noises (traf-
fic noises, vibration sounds, etc.),
which may prevent the system from
recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, follow the solutions given in
this guide for the appropriate error.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number one, until the problem is resolved.
Symptom/error messageSolution
Displays “COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED ”or the
system fails to interpret the command correctly. 1. Ensure that the command format is valid, see
“Command List” earlier in this section.
2. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level.
3. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive, for example, windows open or defrost on.
NOTE:
If it is too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that voice commands will not be recognized.
4. If optional words of the command have been omitted, then the command should be tried with these in place.
The system consistently selects the wrong voicetag in
the phonebook. 1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See
“Bluetooth
®Hands-Free Phone
System (models with navigation system) ”earlier in this section; page 4-89.)
2. Replace one of the voicetags being confused with a different voicetag.
