HOMELINK UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)

SYSTEM OPERATING TIPS

Garage doors, electrical gates, entry doors, etc., will be activated during programming. To avoid injury, make sure that people and objects are clear of all doors or gates during programming. Your vehicles engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink Transceiver. To program your HomeLink Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device. NOTE: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have rolling code protection. To program a garage door opener equipped with rolling code protection, you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the smart or learn program button.
PROGRAMMING YOUR HOMELINK UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (Mirror, Sun Visor or Overhead Console)
1.To begin, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (to clear the memory) until the indicator light blinks slowly (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons. 2.Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink surface. 3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button. DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. 4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink flashes, changing from a slow blink to a rapidly flashing blink. This could take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly flashing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other programmed device, press and hold the programmed HomeLink button - releasing when the device begins to activate.

R ECEIVING/ENDING A PHONE CALL
There are no voice commands for receiving or ending a phone call. To accept the call, press the button on the steering wheel or touch the Answer key. To reject the call, touch the Reject Call key. To hang-up, push the button or touch the Hang-Up key. Pressing the button during a connected phone call will allow you to send digits and special characters. After speaking the desired digits, press the ENTER button to send the recognized information.

The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: DIAL and INTERNATIONAL CALL. The DIAL command is used for domestic phone numbers up to ten digits in length starting with the area code. The INTERNATIONAL CALL command is used when more than ten digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required such as *, #, or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rules below: Only single digits zero (0) to nine (9) can be spoken. When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept eight hundred in addition to eight zero zero or eight oh oh. 500, 700, and 900 are also supported. The long-distance calling prefix 1 is not required when making a call.

DIAL COMMAND ONLY

You can say all the digits of a 7- or 10-digit phone number at one time. For a 10-digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3, and 4 digits may improve recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the first three digits of the phone number. After the system recognizes the number, it will request the next three digits and finally the last four digits. If a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the phone number again using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, CHANGE NUMBER.
INTERNATIONAL CALL COMMAND ONLY
You can say the entire phone number at once or in groups of any digit length. For *, #, and +, say star, pound, or plus, respectively.
NISSAN VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM (Navigation System only)
Voice recognition allows hands-free operation of the phone, navigation, and vehicle information systems as a default setting (Standard Mode). Available commands are announced by the system and shown on the display. You can complete your desired operation by following the instructional prompts given by the system. The system will indicate when you can speak a command by sounding a tone. To use voice recognition, push the (TALK) switch located on the steering wheel.
After pushing the switch, the system responds with, Would you like to access Phone, Navigation, Information or Help? The screen also changes and shows the available commands to speak. After the tone, say one of the command choices. The system will then proceed to the next step.

Saying Help will display the User Guide explained later in this document. Continue listening to the prompts and respond after the tone until the desired operation is completed. Remember to wait for the tone before speaking. For proper recognition of phone numbers and street names, please review the operating tips on the next page. The commands shown in the menus above are available in Standard Mode. To access an expanded list of commands, please see Alternate Command Mode in this guide.
Before Starting To get the best possible performance out of the Voice Recognition system, observe the following:
The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet as possible. Close the windows to minimize the surrounding noises.
Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a command. Speak in a natural conversational voice with minimal pauses between words. If you want to repeat a step or if the system incorrectly recognized your command, push the switch on the steering wheel or the BACK button on the instrument panel.
If the system does not recognize your command, please repeat the command again. However, avoid raising the volume of your voice or slowing down your speech unless the system prompts you to do so. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition accuracy. How to speak phone numbers The system provides two commands for entering and dialing a phone number: DIAL and INTERNATIONAL CALL. The DIAL command is used for domestic phone numbers up to ten digits in length, starting with the area code. The INTERNATIONAL CALL command is used when more than ten digits need to be dialed or when special characters are required such as *, #, or +. When using these two commands, please follow the phone digit speaking rules below: Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 (nine) can be spoken. Speak digits at a normal pace. Speaking too slowly reduces recognition accuracy. When saying the phone number 800-662-6200, the system will accept eight hundred in addition to eight zero zero or eight oh oh. 500, 700, and 900 are also supported. The long-distance dialing prefix 1 is not required when making a call.
You can say all the digits of a 7- or 10-digit phone number at one time. For a 10-digit number, saying the phone number in groups of 3, 3, and 4 digits may improve recognition for some speakers. To use this group dialing method, say only the first 3 digits of the phone number. After the system recognizes the first three digits, it will request the next 3 digits and finally the last 4 digits. If a phone number is incorrectly recognized, you can try entering the phone number again using the 3-3-4 group dialing procedure by saying, CHANGE NUMBER.
You can say the entire phone number at once or in groups of any digit length. For *, #, and +, say STAR, POUND, or PLUS, respectively.

Setting a Destination to a Place After saying NAVIGATION, the command PLACES allows you to select a nearby place category. The category selection will show the five nearest places of the chosen category. To customize this list, please refer to the OTHER SETTINGS section of your Navigation Owners Manual.
