HomePatrol‐II operates on a single profile at a time, so, if you want to significantly change your current profile, save it to Sentinel first. The saved profile becomes a snapshot of your HomePatrol‐II configuration at that moment. When you want to restore that specific profile later, write it back to HomePatrol‐II. For example, if you are traveling to another city and you will be creating a profile for that city, write your current profile to Sentinel. You can restore that profile when you return and all your settings will be saved. Refer to the Sentinel software Help files for detailed information about profiles. Updating HomePatrol‐II Firmware From time to time, Uniden will release firmware updates to improve existing functionality, add new features, or address issues found in its operation.
