Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU -801 only
The HU -801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be
transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made
available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and
the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the
accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation
of these functions.
Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North
America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will
find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.

VOLVO S80
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
pg.146 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls..
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. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the
illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins
to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand -held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-
800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com
).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has
ProCarManuals.com

been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program
the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com
).
pg.147 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
WARNING!
· If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure 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 that 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
).
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the 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 owner's manual for verification.
· If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
· Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, 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 HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 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, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the
programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system,
etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.
pg.148 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until
HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.
3. Release both buttons.
The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous pages.
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 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).
ProCarManuals.com

· For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver when you sell your
car.
· Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a car equipped with HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceiver's function.
