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 the
switch.

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 recognition performance
from INFINITI 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. .
If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”,
the fan speed is automatically lowered
so that your commands can be recog-
nized more easily.
SAA3001
Giving voice commands

“Would you like to access Phone,
Navigation, Information, Audio or
Help?”.
3. After the tone sounds and the icon on the screen changes from

Selecting the “Practice”key will start
the practice mode. See “Let’s Practice”
earlier in this section.
4. Continue to follow the voice menu prompts and speak after the tone
sounds until your desired operation is
completed. Selecting the
“Help”key can display
the detailed information of the each
command.
Operating tips:
. Say a command after the tone.

ways shown on the display and spoken
through voice menu prompts. Com-
mands other than those that are dis-
played are not accepted. Please follow
the prompts given by the system.

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.
Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method
Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-117

4-118Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems
of phone digit entry can improve recogni-
tion performance.
When speaking a house number, speak the
number“0”as“zero ”. If the letter “o (Oh)”
is included in the house number, it will not
be recognized as the number “0 (zero)”
even if you speak “oh”instead of “zero”.
Please speak “zero”for the number “0
(zero)”, “oh”for the letter “o (oh)”
Send digits using dial tone: . Press the TALK
switch during a
phone call.
. The menu will be launched and you will
be provided with the following gui-
dance: "Please say the digits to dial".
. After guidance, say the digits of the
number you want to send. After this,
the digits that have been recognized
will be read out.
. If you press the ENTER button on the
steering wheel or on the INFINITI con-
troller, the selected digits will be sent.

Voice command examples
To use the INFINITI Voice Recognition
function, speaking one command is some-
times sufficient, but at other times it is
necessary to speak two or more com-
mands. As examples, some additional
basic operations by voice commands are
described here.
For navigation system commands, see the
separate Navigation System Owner’s Man-
ual.
