1997 Volvo 850
Batteries
The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 1220. If three short signals are
audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this indicates that the batteries are weak.
Replacement : Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the
batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.
Programming a transmitter
If you purchase additional transmitters (max. 4), they must be programmed to function with your alarm/
remote keyless entry system. To do this:
● Make sure all doors, hood and trunk/tailgate are closed.
● Turn the ignition on and off 5 times within 10 seconds. On the fifth try, leave the ignition on.
● Press either button on the transmitter.
NOTE: The first transmitter must be programmed within 15 seconds, the others within 10 second
intervals. When the alarm system accepts the codes from each transmitter, the LED on the dash will
glow steadily for several seconds.
● Switch the ignition off and test the transmitter(s).
