PLACING A CALL:
There are 5 ways to place a call.
1. To dial a specific telephone number, say “Dial”.
2. To dial a specific telephone number, say “Digit dial”.
This option
is specifically used in noisy situation when the dial
command is not performing well.
3. To use a stored nametag (speed dial), say “Call”.
4. To dial the last number called, say “Redial”.
5. To dial a number a Lexus Link Advisor downloaded to
your vehicle, say “Number recall”.
To dial a number using “Dial”:
1. Press the phone button.
You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Dial”.
You will hear “Phone number to dial, please”.
3. Say the entire phone number you wish to dial 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 “Dialing” and your call (or “No” to try again) \
will be
connected.
INFORMATION
 If you get a “Pardon” response as soon as you begin
saying the number, this means you spoke too quickly
after the “Phone number to dial, please” response.
Just repeat the entire number again.
 If you gave the entire number to dial and you received
a “Pardon” response, that means the system did not
hear all the digits of the phone number. Say the
number again and be sure you do not pause between
digits.
 After 3 unsuccessful tries (pardons), you will be
prompted to the digit dial format. This lets you dial
each digit individually and should be more
successful for you.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
370To dial a number using digit dial:
1. Press the phone button.
You will hear “Lexus Link ready”.
2. Say “Digit dial”.
You will hear “First digit to dial, 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.
Wait for confirmation before going on.
4. When finished, say “Dial” again.
You will hear “Dialing” and your call will be connected.INFORMATION

If the number you spoke is repeated incorrectly, just
say “Clear” and the last number will be erased. Try
saying the number again.
 If you get a “Pardon” response, no digit was recorded
by the system; just try again. See “VOICE
COMMANDS/SPEECH RECOGNITION” on page 377
for more tips.
 If you have trouble getting numbers correctly into the
system, store up to 20 frequently called numbers
using the nametag feature directory, so the system
will remember them. After you have stored a number
with a nametag, then you simply say “Call” and the
nametag in order to call the number.
 To differentiate pound and star from other numbers
and commands, you must use the commands
“Pound key” and “Star key”.
