Introduction
Create Favorites Lists
As you find transmissions you like and would like to monitor again, you can save
them to a Favorites List. When you opt to listen to a Favorites List, your scanner
will monitor only the transmissions on that list.
You can assign a Quick Key to a Favorites List (FLQK) that allows you to quickly
turn a Favorites List on or off by simply entering the quick key on the keypad
while scanning.
Avoid Transmissions
You can also select transmissions for your scanner to Avoid (ignore).
Replay Transmissions
Your scanner Replay feature acts as an instant replay of the transmissions you've
just heard. You can set how long a period Replay records for instant playback.
This period can range from 30 seconds to 240 seconds (4 minutes). While you
can replay that recording immediately and continue replaying it, you cannot save
it for future listening.
Record Transmissions
With your scanner, you can record transmissions. When you begin recording,
your scanner adds the Replay recording buffer to the recording. These recording
sessions are saved and can be replayed on demand. Rename and delete
sessions through the Review Recordings screen.
Create Profiles
When you entered your zip code the first time, you began creating your first
profile. A profile contains settings like your location and associated transmissions
from the database, Favorites Lists and Avoids, etc. You automatically develop a
profile as you monitor transmissions and save some to Favorites Lists, Avoid
others, and adjust how your scanner receives and plays them.
Your scanner 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 scanner's configuration at that moment. When you want to
restore that specific profile later, write it back to your scanner. 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.
