If the registered device has both audio
and phone function, the system displays
a message asking if you would like to
register the device for another function.
The procedure for connecting a cellular
phone/audio device varies according to
each Bluetooth® device. See the Blue-
tooth® device Owner’s Manual for de-
tails.
NOTE:
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to

2. Getting started
If the system temporarily does not respond
to commands, the system can be easily reset.
Simply push down/ >on the audio system for at least 5
seconds. The system will turn off and restart.
After restart, all functions should be avail-
able.
Models with navigation system:
If a navigation route was set, the route
should resume automatically.
System Reset
As noted above, intermittent system resets
may occur during normal operation. You may
also wish to reset the system if you find that
a particular feature is not loading or re-
sponding. Often, a quick system reset will
resolve any issue you may be experiencing.
After restart, all functions will be available as
described above.
System Updates
The INFINITI InTouch
TMsystem is designed
to allow software updates for additional
enhancements and new features. If you have
questions about system performance, con-
tact your retailer to ensure that your vehicle
has had the latest available software in-
stalled. Operating Tips
INFINITI InTouch
TMprovides several meth-
ods of operation to suit your preferences.
The following are suggested operating tips.
. Operating the INFINITI controller (if so
equipped), control panel (if so equipped),
Steering Wheel Controls or other con-
trols too quickly can cause a lag between
the control and the display. Operate the
controls carefully and allow the system
to respond to your request.
. INFINITI recommends using Voice Re-
cognition whenever possible to select
options while driving. Some touch screen
functionality is intentionally unavailable
during driving. Please view the available
voice commands by pushing <
>on
the steering wheel and then selecting a
category on the display.
. Models with navigation system:
When looking for a street address or
Points of Interest (POI), remember that
you can use Connected Search and
Destination Assistance features within
INFINITI InTouch
TMServices to expand
your search methods and results. The
Voice Recognition System recognizes a
defined set of commands. These com- mands can be viewed in the display by
pushing
<
>on the steering wheel
and then selecting a category from the
displayed list. The commands can also be
found in this manual.
“Command list” (page 7-7)
. In some situations, the system may not
be able to recognize your command even
if you say the exact command. This can
be due to noise conditions or an accent.
. In some unique cases, the system may
expect a word to be spoken as it is
spelled as opposed to the way it is
normally pronounced.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
WARNING
.The driver must not attempt to oper-
ate the audio system while the vehicle
is in motion, so that full attention may
be given to the vehicle operation.
. Park the vehicle in a safe location and
apply the parking brake before oper-
ating the audio system and playing
movies (if so equipped).
CAUTION
.Operate the audio system only when
the engine or the hybrid system is
running. Operating the audio system
for extended periods of time with the
engine or the hybrid system turned
off can discharge the vehicle battery
(12V battery).
. Do not allow these systems to get
wet. Excessive moisture such as
spilled liquids may cause the system
to malfunction.
RADIO
Place the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position before turning on the radio. If you
listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system. Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
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 different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
3-2

(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away
from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
(for U.S.)
HD RadioTMTechnology reception needs to
be activated to receive HD Radio broad-
casts.
“Audio settings” (page 3-38)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the vehicle battery (12V battery) has
been replaced, the satellite radio may not
work properly. This is not a malfunction.
Wait more than 10 minutes with the satellite
radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio
to receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite service is available only to those at
least 18 and older in the 48 contiguous
United States and DC.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.
