Operating tips To get the best performance out of the NISSAN Voice Recognition system, observe the follow- ing: . Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as possible. Close the windows to eliminate surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration sounds, etc.), which may prevent the system from recognizing voice commands correctly. . Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command. Otherwise, the command will not be received properly.
. Start speaking a command within 5 seconds
after the tone sounds.
. Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
Giving voice command To operate NISSAN Voice Recognition, push button located on the and release the steering wheel. After the tone sounds, speak a
command.
The command given is picked up by the microphone, and voice feedback is given when the command is accepted.
If you need to hear the available commands for the current menu again, say “Help” and the system will repeat them.
If a command is not recognized, the system announces, “Command not recognized. Please say again.” Repeat the command in a clear voice.
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.
. 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

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 zero zero”
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 zero zero”
. You can say “Star” for “*” and “Pound” for “#” at any time in any position of the phone number. (Available only when using the “Special Dialing” command.)
Example: 1-555-1212 *123
— “One five five five one two one two star
one two three”
. Say “pound” for “#”. Say “star” for “*” (available when using the “Special Dialing” command and the “Send” command during a call).
. Say “plus” for “+” (available only when using
the “Special Dialing” command).
. Say “pause” for a 2 second pause (available
only when storing a phone book number).
See “Making a call by entering a phone number” later in this section and “LIST OF VOICE COMMANDS” later in this section for more information.
NOTE: For best results, say phone numbers as single digits.
The voice command “Help” is available at any time. Please say the “Help” command to get information about how to use the system.
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 commands.
. When you speak numbers, you can speak
both “zero” or “oh” for “0”.
Manual command selection Commands can be selected manually. While the commands are displayed on the screen, select a command by operating the Tune switch, and button. Once a command is then push the manually selected, the voice command function is cancelled. To return to voice command mode, the current push the operation, and then perform the first procedure of voice command.

Use the Replace Phone command to change the priority level of the active phone.
The priority level determines which phone is active when more than one paired Blue- tooth® phone is in the vehicle.
The system states the priority level of the active phone and asks for a new priority level (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
If the new priority level is already being used for another phone, the two phones will swap priority levels.
SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE Speaker Adaptation allows up to two out-of dialect users to train the system to improve recognition accuracy. By repeating a number of commands, the users can create a voice model of their own voice that is stored in the system. The system is capable of storing a different speaker adaptation model for each connected phone.
Training procedure 1. Position the vehicle in a reasonably quiet
outdoor location.
2. Sit

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.
The system consistently selects the wrong entry from the phonebook.
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 improve the recognition response for the speaker. See “SPEAKER ADAPTATION (SA) MODE” earlier in this section.
1. Ensure that the phonebook entry name requested matches what was originally stored. This can be confirmed by using the “List Names” command. See “Phonebook (phones without automatic phonebook download function)” earlier in this section.
2. Replace one of the names being confused with a new name.

The Standard Mode enables you to complete the desired operation by simply following the prompts that appear on the display and also are announced by the system.
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (models with navigation system)
NISSAN 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 “NISSAN VOICE RECOG- NITION STANDARD MODE” later in this section for details.)
For advanced operation, you can use the Alternate Command Mode. (See “NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION ALTERNATE COM- MAND MODE” later in this section for details.) When this mode is active, an expanded list of commands can be spoken after pushing the switch, and the voice command TALK 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, is recommended that

NISSAN Voice Recognition requires a certain 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

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 recognition performance.
When speaking a house number, speak the If the letter “o (Oh)” is number “0” as “zero”. included in the house number, it will not be recognized as the number “0 (zero)” even if you
