Using system
Initialization:

minute. When completed, the system is
ready to accept voice commands. If the
switch on the steering wheel is pushed
before the initialization completes, the
system will not accept any command.
Before starting:
To get the best performance out of the
Voice Recognition System, 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.
. Wait until a tone sounds before speak-
ing a command.
. Speak a voice command within 5
seconds after the beep sound. If no
voice command is given, the system
will ask you for a number. If no further
command is given, the session ends.
. Speak in a natural voice without paus-
ing between words.

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.

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.
