When problems occur with the XM tuner, a message will appear on the display. Refer-
ring to the table below to identify the problem, take the suggested corrective action.
ANTENNA
The XM antenna is not connected. Check whether the
XM antenna cable is attached securely.
A short circuit occurs in the antenna or the surrounding
antenna cable. See a Lexus certified dealer for assis-
tance.

tomatically, select another channel. If you want to listen
to the premium channel, contact the XM Satellite
Radio.

until your vehicle reaches a location with a stronger sig-
nal.
LOADINGThe unit is acquiring audio or program information. Wait
until the unit has received the information.

NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio com-
munications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television re-
ception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
—Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an out-
let on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.
Information to user
Alternation or modifications carried
out without appropriate authoriza-
tion may invalidate the user’s right to
operate the equipment.

An antenna for the Bluetooth
connection is built in to the instrument
panel. The indication of the Bluetooth
connection may turn yellow and the
system may not function when you use
the Bluetooth portable player in the
following conditions.

Your portable player is hiding behind
from the instrument panel (behind the
seat or in the glove box or console box).

Your portable player touches or is cov-
ered with metal materials.
Leave the Bluetooth portable player in a
place where the “Blue” indication is dis-
played.
The portable player information is regis-
tered when the Bluetooth audio system is
connected. When you release possession
of your vehicle, remove your portable play-
er. (See “(a) Removing a Bluetooth au-
dio” on page 355.)
FCC ID : AJDK021
IC ID: 775E−K021
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and RSS−Gen and
RSS−210 of IC Rules. Operation is sub-
ject to the following two conditions : (1)
This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including in-
terference that may cause undesired
operation.
CAUTION
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifi-
cations in construction not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION: Radio Frequency Radi-
ation Exposure
This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled equipment and meets
the FCC radio frequency (RF) Expo-
sure Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65. This equipment has very low
levels of RF energy that it deemed to
comply without maximum permis-
sive exposure evaluation (MPE). But
it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated with at least 20
cm and more between the radiator
and person’s body (excluding ex-
tremities: hands, wrists, feet and
ankles).
Co−location: This transmitter must
not be co−located or operated in con-
junction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video sys-
tem operations:

Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.

Do not put anything other than an
appropriate discs into the CD
changer or DVD changer.

The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio/video system which you are lis-
tening to. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.

Radio reception
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio — it is just the normal result of condi-
tions 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 prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio:FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25 miles
(40 km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping — 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 — AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — 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 difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
