IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
374STORING/DELETING NUMBERS IN MEMORY
(NAMETAGS)
Your Lexus Link System can store up to 20 phone
numbers. These numbers can be dialed by simply saying
“Call”, then saying the nametag.
Tips for creating nametags:

Short nametags that are similar may be easily confused by
the system. You may get better recognition of your
nametags if you make them longer, for example “George
Washington” (no pause), instead of “George” only.
 The best way to store a nametag is when it is quiet inside
the vehicle. The vehicle should be stationary and the air
conditioning fan turned off.
 When you have finished speaking your phone number, you
do not need to say “Store number” or “Dial” to indicate that
you are done. If you pause and say nothing, the system will
ask you if you want to store or dial. Say “Yes”. To store a nametag:
1. Press the phone button.
You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Store”.
You will hear “Phone number to store, please”.
3. Say the number you wish to store with no pauses.
Lexus Link will repeat the number, then you will hear “Yes or
No”.
4. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
You will hear “Nametag, please” (or Number not stored).
5. Say “(new nametag)”.
You will hear “About to store (new nametag)” and “Does that
sound OK?”
6. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
You will hear “Storing (new nametag)”.

You will hear “First digit to store, please”.
3. Say the number to be dialed, one digit at a time.
Lexus Link will confirm each digit by repeating it back to you.
4. When finished, say “Store”.
You will hear “Storing nametag, please”.
5. Say “(new nametag)”.
You will hear “About to store (new nametag)” and “Does that
sound OK?”
6. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
You will hear “Storing (new nametag)”.
To delete a nametag:1. Press the phone button.
You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Delete”.
You will hear “Nametag, please”.

You will hear “Deleting (nametag)”.
To list your nametags:
Use the “Directory” command to list your nametags.

You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Directory”.
Lexus Link will list your nametags.

minutes remaining.

SECURITY CODE/LOCKING YOUR SYSTEM
You can set up a 4digit personal security code to ensure
that
unauthorized people do not use the calling capability
of your system. With security code set to on, the system
will respond with “Security code on” to any personal call,
including 911, or an advanced services request. With the
security code on, only calls from the Lexus Link Call
Center will be presented.
Before calls can be made or received, you must turn the
security code off.
To turn on/off the security:
1. Press the phone button.
You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Security”.
You will hear “Enter first digit of code, please”.
3. Say your 4digit code one digit at a time.
Lexus Link will confirm each digit by repeating it back to you.
After the fourth digit, you will hear “Security (Code ####) is now
on/off”. VOICE COMMANDS / SPEECH RECOGNITION
Operation of the Lexus Link
speech recognition systems:
Speech recognition allows the user to speak to a computer.
The computer tries to understand the user’s command, and
responds by speaking back or by taking the appropriate action
(e.g., dialing the phone).
Personal calling uses a speech recognition system that is built
in the vehicle. When the user presses the phone or PTT
button, the system says “Lexus Link ready”, and listens for the
user’s command. The user can speak commands to control
the hands− free wireless phone.
Performance of speech recognition:
The Lexus Link speech recognition systems use speech
technology that is designed to understand a wide range of
speakers of American English. However, the technology does
not work equally well across all regional and ethnic accents.
The Lexus Link voice recognition system may not work with all
voices.
Although there is no one right way to speak English, the system
will work best when you try to modify their pronunciation in
response to system errors. If you do not obtain good results,
try the tips found on the following pages.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
379


Speak forcefully and clearly. The noisier the environment,
the louder you need to speak. If you are in the driver’s seat,
speak facing the front of the vehicle. If you are a passenger,
speak facing the rearview mirror.
 Speak calmly and naturally. The system may sometimes
fail to hear your repeated attempts to give a command. If
your speech is distorted by shouting or frustration, this may
cause more errors.
 People with high −pitched voices may have better results by
speaking in a deeper, lower−pitched voice. However, do not
lower the volume of the voice.
 Avoid speaking with a rising intonation, like asking a
question. Use a flat or fallin g intonation, like giving an
answer.
Personal calling: oneword commands

Commands—The personal calling system listens for only
one word at a time. (There are some exceptions: two −word
phrases that are spoken and understood as a single word,
e.g., “Advanced services” and “My number”.)
 Numbers—When inputting a phone number, the personal
calling system listens for a continuous string of digits. It can
recognize 7−, 10−, and 11−digit numbers as well as the
number 911. When inputting security codes or
voice−activated keypad numbers, you must say them one
digit at a time.
 Say “Help” at the “Lexus Link ready” prompt to hear the list
of personal calling commands.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
380Tips for entering a phone number using the dial and store
commands:

Say the entire 7 −, 10− or 11−digit number and wait for the
system to respond. You do not need to say “Dial”, “Store”,
or “Verify” after the phone number.
 If you want to enter a number that is not 7 −, 10− or 11 −digit,
use the digit dial or digit store commands.
 Do not pause between the digits. If there is a long pause
between digits, the system may think that you have finished
saying the entire number.
 The system does not recognize the words “Hundred” or
“Thousand”. Instead, you must say each digit. For
example, a number starting with “1 −800 ..” is pronounced
“one−eight−zero−zero...”.
 The system often works better when the digits are combined
smoothly into a single phrase. Try saying the entire phone
number more rapidly.
 If problems continue when saying the entire phone number,
try using the digit dial or digit store commands to enter one
digit at a time.
Say each one of the syllables in the word clearly. Do not omit
any of the syllables.
Be sure to articulate each sound in the word. The voice
recognition system can have trouble recognizing a
word when
final consonants are not pronounced. It may be helpful to
emphasize the final consonant.
If the system is confusing 2 commands that are similar (e.g.
“Dial” and “Redial”), be sure to pronounce the distinction.\
In
this example, “Redial” may be recognized better if the first
syllable is emphasized and slightly lengthened.
Avoid clipping short words and syllables. Instead, try
lengthening the short words and syllables, and slow down your
overall speech rate a little. You can also try lengthening
different syllables of the word.
Try speaking louder. When there is a lot of background noise,
the system has more trouble hearing your speech. If, however,
you find that you are speaking so loud that you are stressing
your voice, speaking somewhat quieter but with clear
pronunciation may help.
