Safety information for the Lexus Link System
Important! Read this information before using the Lexus Link System.■Exposur
e to radio frequency signals
The Lexus Link System installed in your v
ehicle is a low power ratio trans-
mitter and receiver. When the engine sw itch is in the “
ON” position, it
receives and also sends radio frequency (RF) signals. 
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF e
xposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ -
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standar
ds Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on R
adiation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commis
sion on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro -
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comp r
ehensive 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 resear ch to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1). 
The design of the Lexus Link S
ystem complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

your plan. They are easily billed to a credit card that is kept on file so no
separate phone bill is needed.

espond to a number request
from an automated phone system. When you receive the request for a
number while in a call, press the button after saying the numbers
one at a time, say “Dial”.
If you do not say any commands within 5 seconds after pressing the button,
or if you press the button twice, the system cannot receive the number tones
you are trying to send. Press the button to try again.
■ How to retrieve your phone number
Press the button. When the system responds with “Lexus

The system responds with “Your number is [#]”.
If the response is “Per sonal calling unav
ailable”, this means your personal

delivery. It could also mean that the pe rsonal calling service is not avail-
able in your area. Press the button to check with an A
dvisor. Now
that you have your number, take a moment to practice by making your
first call to y
our home phone. Remember, the system recognizes numbers
better when you say them quickly.

■Speech recognition information
The Lexus Link speech recognition systems use speech technology that is designed
t
o understand a wide range of speakers of American English. However, the technol -
ogy may not work as well if a regional or et h
nic accent is encountered. If the speech
recognition system does not work properly, refer to the following.
●The system does not recognize your command properly if noise is preset. Per -
form the following to improve voice command recognition.
• Turn down or off the air conditioning system.
• Slow down to reduce wind noise.
• Close the windows and the moon r
oof to block outside noise.
• Have all occupants be quiet so that the system does not recognize their con -
versation as a command.
●When to speak
Say a command within 5 seconds after the system prompts you to speak.
●How to speak
• Speak forcefully and clearly.
• Speak calmly and naturally.
• The driver should speak while facing forward, and the passenger should s
peak facing the inside rear view mirror.
• Avoid speaking with a rising intonati on.
Use a flat or falling intonation.
●Tips for one-word commands
• The system recognizes only one word a
t a time for personal calling. (There
are some exceptions, such as “Advanced services” and “My number”.)
• When inputting the security codes or v
oice-activated keypad number, you
must say them one digit at a time. When inputting a phone number, the
speech recognition system can recognize 7, 10, and 11-digit numbers as well
as the number 911.

●Tips for entering a phone number using the “Dial” and “Store” commands
• You do not need to say “Dial”, “Store” or “Verify” after the phone number.
• If the phone number entered is not 7, 10, or 11 digits, use the “Dial” or “Store”
command.
• Do not pause between the digits.
• Speech recognition does not recognize the words “Hundred” or “Thousand”. Instead, say each digit.
• Speech recognition often works better when the digits are combined
smoothly into a single phrase.
• If the system does not recognize your command properly, use the “Digit dial” command to enter one digit at a time.
●If problems continue
• Say each one of the syllables in the word clearly.
• Be sure to articulate each sound in the word.
• If the system is confusing 2 commands th at are similar, be sure to pronounce
the distinction.
• Avoid clipping short words and syllables.
• Try speaking louder to prevent background noise from drowning out your
voice.
●Audible voice prompts
Some of the voice guidance instructions can be changed to Spanish. Press the
button and ask a Lexus Link Advisor.
