FM RADIO RECEPTIONRange: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single
channel) 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 froma 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 increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other, result-
ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTIONAM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also sub-
ject 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 turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE (SAT) RADIO
RECEPTION (if so equipped)When the satellite radio is first installed or the
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 for the satellite radio to receive all of
the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available when the
SAT band option is selected unless optional
satellite receiver and antenna are installed, and
an XM
®satellite radio service subscription is
active.
Satellite radio performance may be affected if
cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satellite
antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.
Satellite radio is not available in Alaska and
Hawaii.

Please try again.” Repeat the command in a
clear voice.

If you want to go back to the previous
command, you can say “Go back” or “Cor-
rection” anytime the system is waiting for a
response.

You can cancel a command when the system
is waiting for a response by saying, “Cancel”
or “Quit.” The system announces “Cancel”
and ends the VR session. You can also push
the
button on the steering wheel at any
time. Whenever the VR session is cancelled,
a double beep is played to indicate you have
exited the system.

How to say numbers
NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain
way to speak numbers in voice commands. Refer
to the rules and examples below.

Either “zero” or “oh” can be used for “0”.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh six six two six two oh
oh”, or— “One eight zero zero six six two six two oh
oh”

Words can be used for the first 4 digits
places only.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight hundred six six two six two oh
oh”,
— NOT “One eight hundred six six two sixty
two hundred, and
— NOT “One eight oh oh six six two sixty two
hundred.

Numbers can be spoken in small groups. The
system will prompt you to continuing entering
digits, if desired.
Example: 1-800-662-6200
— “One eight oh oh”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
— “six six two”
The system repeats the numbers and
prompts you to enter more.
— “six two oh oh”

You can say “Star” for * and “Pound” for # at
anytime in any position of the phone number.Example: 1-555-1212 *123
— “One five five five one two one two star
one two three”
NOTE:
For best results, say phone numbers as
single digits.

currently available anytime the system is waiting
for a response.
If you want to end an action without completing
it, you can say “Cancel” or “Quit” at anytime the
system is waiting for a response. The system will
end the VR session. Whenever the VR session is
cancelled, a double beep is played to indicate
you have exited the system.
If you want to go back to the previous command,
you can say “Go back” or “Correction” anytime
the system is waiting for a response.
When you get used to the menus in the system,
you can talk ahead by saying more than one
command at a time. For example, say, “Call five
five five one two one two” or “Memo pad record.”

You can still use the Memo Pad and access
Setup.
To turn on the system again, choose the Blue-
tooth On command from the Setup command.
SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODESpeaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of dia-
lect users to train the system to improve recogni-
tion accuracy. By repeating a number of com-
mands, the users can create a voice model of theirown voice that is stored in the system. The system
is capable of storing a different speaker adapta-
tion model for memory A and memory B.
If memory A is available, the system will use
memory A to store the model. If memory A is in
use and memory B is available, the system will
use memory B to store the model. If both of the
memory locations are in use, the system will ask
the user to select which memory location should
be overwritten.Training procedureThe procedure for training a voice is as follows.
1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit in the driver’s seat with the engine run-
ning, the parking brake on, and the transmis-
sion in Park.
3. Press and hold the
button for more
than 5 seconds.
4. The system announces: “Press the PHONE
SEND (
) button for the hands-free
phone system to enter the speaker adapta-
tion mode or press the PHONE END
(
) button to select a different lan-
guage.”
5. Press the

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDEThe system should respond correctly to all voice commands without difficulty. If problems are encountered, try the following solutions.
Where the solutions are listed by number, try each solution in turn, starting with number 1, until the problem is resolved.Symptom Solution
System fails to interpret the command correctly.1. Ensure that the command is valid. See “List of voice commands” earlier in this section.
2. Ensure that the command is spoken after the tone.
3. Speak clearly without pausing between words and at a level appropriate to the ambient noise level in the vehicle.
4. Ensure that the ambient noise level is not excessive (for example, windows open or defroster on). NOTE: If it is
too noisy to use the phone, it is likely that the voice commands will not be recognized.
5. If more than one command was said at a time, try saying the commands separately.
6. If the system consistently fails to recognize commands, the voice training procedure should be carried out to im-
prove the recognition response for the speaker. See “Speaker adaptation (SA) mode” earlier in this section.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry
from the phone book.1. Ensure that the phone book entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by
using the “List Names” command. See “Phone book” earlier in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.
