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. Tips 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.

Lexus Link transceiver antenna
The Lexus Link transceiver antenna is removable. Before
taking the vehicle to an automatic car wash, disconnect
the antenna by unscrewing it from the roof mount.
When you remove the antenna, make sure the ignition is
turned off.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
Lexus Link System and may violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION
Persons who use a medical appliance like a pacemaker
should not touch or come in close contact with the
antenna while the vehicle ignition is on. Otherwise, the
cellular signals may produce improper operation of a
medical appliance.
NOTICE
Do not contact with the antenna, this may affect
quality of transceiver’s operation and may cause the
unit to operate at a higher power level than needed.
 If you forget reattaching the Lexus Link transceiver
antenna, the Lexus Link System may not function
properly.
 To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
removed before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS ORLOCK YOURSELF OUT
You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you
can give them the key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobilizer system must be
replaced.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on page 8.
You can use the wireless remote control system with the new
key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you
using special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we
suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the
least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid
glass cuts.
