TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The 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

“INFINITI Voice Recognition system” later in this section; page 4-104.)

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.

The system consistently selects the
wrong voicetag.

1. Ensure that the voicetag requested matches what was originally stored. (See

“Vehicle phonebook” earlier in this section.)

2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems

INFINITI Voice Recognition allows hands-
free operation of the Phone, Navigation,
Information and Audio systems in one of
two modes, Standard Mode or Alternate
Command Mode.

In Standard Mode, commands that are
available are always shown on the display
and announced by the system. You can
complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system.
(See

“INFINITI Voice Recognition Standard

Mode

” later in this section for details.)

For advanced operation, you can use the
Alternate Command Mode. (See

“INFINITI

Voice Recognition Alternate Command
Mode

” later in this section for details.)

When this mode is active, an expanded list
of commands can be spoken after pushing
the TALK

switch, and the voice

command menu prompts are turned off.
Review the expanded command list, which
is available when this mode is active. Note
that in this mode the recognition success
rate may be affected as the number of
available commands and the ways of
speaking each command are increased.

To switch one mode to another, see each
mode description later in this section.

To improve the recognition success rate

when Alternate Command Mode is active,
try using the Speaker Adaptation Function
available in that mode. Otherwise, it is
recommended that Alternate Command
Mode be turned off and Standard Mode
be used for the best recognition perfor-
mance.

For the voice commands for the navigation
system, refer to the Navigation System
Owner

’s Manual of your vehicle.

DARD MODE

The following section is applicable when

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.

,

speak a command.

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.
. Commands that are available are al-

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.

. If the command is not recognized, the

system announces,

“Please say again”.

Repeat the command in a clear voice.

. Push the BACK button once to return to

the previous screen.

message,

“Voice canceled” will be

announced.

. To skip the voice guidance function and

give the command immediately, push
the TALK

system. Remember to speak after the
tone.

. If you want to adjust the volume of the

system feedback, push the volume
control buttons [+] or [

−] on the

steering switch or use the audio system
volume knob while the system is
making an announcement.

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

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.
