BUILDING FAVORITES LISTS As you listen to HomePatrol‐II, you'll find that there are certain channels you want to listen to. You can create groups of related channels that you can have HomePatrol‐II exclusively monitor, or monitor along with the Full Database or other Favorites lists. For example, you can create a list entirely of police department dispatchers, emergency operations, or a specific city's transmissions. If there is a special event coming up, like a car race, you can create a list just for that event. You can save a maximum of 256 Favorites Lists. Once you have Favorites Lists saved on HomePatrol‐II, you can copy them to Sentinel on your PC. If you need to reset your HomePatrol‐II, you can restore your Favorites Lists from there. You can also create and manage Favorites Lists in Sentinel, then move them to your HomePatrol‐II Creating a Favorites List There is more than one way to create a new Favorites List:  From Fave on a submenu pop‐up. While you are monitoring transmissions, open a submenu pop‐up and tap Fave. This method is useful when you are already monitoring a channel you'd like to save. If you don't have Favorites Lists already established, you can create a Favorites List and save the transmission location to it. NOTE: The FAVE submenu pop‐up displays different screens depending on whether or not you have Favorites Lists already saved. Both of these procedures are described later in this section.  Tap Menu/Manage Favorites Lists. This method is useful when you know you want to create a Favorites List for specific transmissions you know you will be monitoring. You can create the list and then save transmissions to it as you come across them.  Listen for a while using the Full Database and avoid transmissions you do not want to listen to. Once you have not needed to avoid a channel for a while, create a new Favorites List database and select Add Current Channels to add all unavoided channels from your current selection. This is probably the easiest way to quickly make a local Favorites List using your HomePatrol‐II.  Use the Sentinel software to create a Favorites List. All of these methods will take you to the Create New List keyboard, but through different paths. Using Submenu Pop‐Up to Create a Favorites List (No Favorites Lists Exist) 1. Tap the following:  Submenu pop‐up tab on channel you want to save.  Fave 2. The Saving Channel to Favorites List confirmation screen displays. Tap OK. 3.
