376Radio reception
Usually, a
problem with radio reception does not mean there is
a problem with your radio Ð 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:
FM
Fading and drifting stations Ð Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance
from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path Ð FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering Ð These occur when signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing
the bass level may reduce static and fluttering. Station swapping Ð If the FM signal you are listening to is
interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original signal can be picked up again.
AM
Fading Ð AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper
atmosphere Ð especially at night. These reflected signals can
interfere with those received directly from the radio station,
causing
the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference Ð When a reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static Ð AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.
Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For the best performance for your cassette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
 A dirty tape head or tape path can decrease sound quality
and tangle your cassette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet type is
recommended.)

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 a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When the ignition is
turned to the ONº 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
*1: American National Standards Institute
*2: National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements
*
3: International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation
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.
