phone and text message commands, so
dialing a phone number using your voice is
possible.“7. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) (if
so equipped) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.
. 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. Visit the web-
site below for a recommended phone list.
www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth/
. When Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto
is active, Apple CarPlay® or Android
Auto will take the place of your Blue-
tooth® Hands-Free Phone functionality.
. 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.

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
placed in the ACC or ON position, it may
not be possible 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.

through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.

shooting help if the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System seems to be mal-
functioning.

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 differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery charging, cellular phone antenna,
