AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATINGHINTS
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages over the system.
 Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or CD
into the slot.
 Do not put anything other than a DVD video, DVD
audio, video CD, dtsCD and audio CD into the DVD
player.
 The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle
may cause a noise from the speakers of the system
which you are listening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
Radio reception
Usually, a problem with radio reception does not mean there is
a problem with your radio — it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain can interfere with
FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range. The farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with your radio:

Safety information for the Lexus Link System
Important!: Read this information before using the Lexus
Link System.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
The Lexus Link System to be installed in your vehicle is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When the ignition is
turned to the “ON” position, it receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
 ANSI C95.1 (1992)*

NCRP Report 86 (1986)*2
ICNIRP (1996)*3

Protection Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120
scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry reviewed the
available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of the Lexus Link System complies with the FCC
guidelines in addition to those standards.
