page 56. You should also be familiar with the information in the first three chapters of this manual.

vehicle for the first time.
The manual is structured so that it can be used for reference. For this reason, it should be kept in the car for
ready access.
Do not export your Volvo to another country before investigating that country's applicable safety and exhaust
emission requirements. In some cases it may be difficult or impossible to comply with these requirements.
Modifications to the emission control system(s) may render your Volvo not certifiable for legal operation in the
U.S., Canada and other countries.
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
pg. 186 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
This transceiver allows you to replace 3 hand -held transmitters with a single built-in device which can be installed in
your car on a sun visor or overhead console. This feature "learns" the radio frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate garage doors, driveway gates, security lighting and home security systems. This transceiver is
powered by your car's electrical system.
NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has
been locked from the outside .
Programming the transceiver
1. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels by holding down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the
illustration above) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light on the transceiver begins to flash,
after approximately 20 seconds.
Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand -held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the
indicator light in view. For placement questions, please contact HomeLink® at
1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand -held transmitter button and the HomeLink® button to be
programmed. Do not release the buttons until this step has been completed.
The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly
ProCarManuals.com

(indicating that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed), both buttons may be released.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way.
If, after several attempts, you do not successfully program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of
the hand -held transmitter, refer to the section "Programming rolling codes" or call the toll-free customer assistance
number: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
WARNING!
· If you use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to open a garage door or gate, be sure that no one is near the gate
or door while it is in motion.
· Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.jci.com).
pg. 187 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To train your hand -held
transmitter, continue to hold the HomeLink® button (see steps 2, 3 under "Programming the transceiver") while you
press and repress ("cycle") your hand -held transmitter button every two seconds until the frequency signal has been
learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly to indicate that the HomeLink® button has
been successfully programmed.
Programming rolling codes
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
· Refer to the garage door opener's owner's manual for verification.
· The hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the transceiver does not
activate the garage door.
· Press the programmed HomeLink® button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature , follow these instructions after the transceiver has been
programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit . The exact location and color of the button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink® button a second
time to complete the training process.
ProCarManuals.com

Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The
original hand -held transmitter can also be used, if necessary, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of hand -held transmitters.
To operate, press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting,
home security system, etc.
The original hand -held transmitter can, of course, be used at any time.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light begins to
flash, after approximately 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.
(HomeLink® information is continued on the next page)
pg. 188 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position the hand -held transmitter
2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.
3. Press and hold the hand -held transmitter button.
The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly,
release both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the
HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink®
buttons.
NOTE:
· Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (i.e., if you purchase a new car).
· It is also suggested that if you sell your car, the programmed channels on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver be
erased for security purposes.
