MANAGE FAVORITES LISTS You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel then associate them with specific profiles. Sentinel lets you create new systems or edit systems already in a Favorites List. When a profile is written to your scanner, only specified Favorites Lists are written to the scanner. Note that all Favorites Lists are shared by all Profiles. If you delete a Favorites List, it is deleted from all profiles. If you want to use a particular Favorites List in some Profiles and not use it in Others, use the Download and/or Monitor settings in the Profile Editor to select your preference. MANAGE DATABASES Uniden updates the Database used in your scanner every week. You can decide how often you want to update the databases on your scanner. When you update them through Sentinel, it checks the website for the most current database and saves it in Sentinel. When you select Write to Scanner, the new database is updated in the scanner. Updating the main database does not update any Favorites List. Your customizations and selections are preserved. HOW TO INSTALL SENTINEL SOFTWARE 1.
