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 installed in your vehicle is a low power ratio trans-
mitter and receiver. When the engine switch is in the “ON” position, it
receives and also sends radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels fo r mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ-
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comp rehensive 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 resear ch to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of the Lexus Link System complies wi th the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

■Lexus Link transceiver antenna
●Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi-
cations, or attachments could damage the Lexus Link System and may violate
FCC regulations.
CAUTION
■FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications in construction not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
Radio Frequency Exposure. This device is approved for Mobile Application only
and, to comply with applicable FCC radio frequency exposure regulations, must be
used with a distance of at least 7.9 in. (20 cm) between the antenna and the body of
any person at all time during use.
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
Persons using medical devices such as a pacemaker should not touch or come in
close contact with the antenna while the vehicle engine switch is on. Otherwise, the
cellular signals may cause a malfunction in the medical devices.
●Before using an automatic car wash,
disconnect the antenna by unscrewing
it from the roof mount.
When you remove the antenna, make
sure the engine switch is turned off.
