PERSONAL CALLING
As a Lexus Link subscriber
, the personal calling capability
is there for you just in case your handheld cell phone is
lost, forgotten, or has a low battery. Personal calling is
integrated into your vehicle and can be activated during
your Lexus Link account activation or by pressing the
blue “SERVICES” button at any time and telling the
advisor that you would like to activate personal calling.
You can prepurchase a package of minutes that works best for
you. They are easily billed to a credit card that you can keep
on file so no separate phone bill is needed. Plus, you will not
have to pay an activation fee, and there are no additional long
distance or roaming charges.
Personal calling universal commands:
“Help”
The system will provide a list of available commands.
“Clear”
When you are entering digits, this command will erase the last
digit entered.
“Cancel”
This command takes you from the current function to the
“Lexus Link ready” prompt. If the last response from the
system was “Lexus Link ready ”, this command will exit
personal calling.

works only during a call.

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”.

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.

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 sp ecial tools. If your vehicle is equipped with Lexus Link
System, call the Lexus Link Call Center 1 −800−25−LEXUS
(Toll−Free) (1 −800− 255−3987) and select the option for Lexus
Link. Once you provide the Lexus Link Call Center Advisor
with your Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number),
they will unlock your vehicle.
NOTICE
You must provide the Lexus Link operator with your
Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number ) before
they lock/unlock your vehicle or activate a remote horn
and lights. However, the Lexus Link System will not be
able to lock or unlock your vehicle or perform lights
flashing/remote horn if it has been parked for 48 hours
or more after the ignition is turned off. Upon
subscription expiration, all Lexus Link services (i.e.
automatic notification, emergency call functions,
service call functions, remote door locking/unlocking
function, remote horn and lights function) are
deactivated.
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.
