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 installed in your vehicle is a low power ratio trans-
mitter and receiver. When the “POWER ” switch is in the ON mode, it
receives and also sends 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 previ-
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comp rehensive 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 System complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

■ How to retrieve your phone number
Press the button. When the system responds with “Lexus
Link ready”, say “My number”.
The system responds with “Your number is [#]”.

calling feature is not yet active, this may take a few days from vehicle
delivery. It could also mean that the personal calling service is not avail-
able in your area. Press the butto n to check with an Advisor. Now
that you have your number, take a moment to practice by making your
first call to your home phone. Remember, the system recognizes numbers
better when you say them quickly.
