OTHER FEATURES
Avoid/Unavoid Transmissions
The Avoid feature lets you block systems, departments, and channels from being received. Avoid does
not delete the channel from the database; it simply prevents HomePatrol‐1 from stopping on it. You can
Avoid transmissions by tapping Avoid on the submenu pop‐up.
Avoids can be either Temporary or Permanent. A temporary avoid clears when you cycle power to the
unit. Permanent avoids must be cleared through the Avoid Options menu from the Advanced Menu. You
can set the default avoid value.
NOTE: You can also tap and hold Avoid in a submenu pop‐up to see the Review Avoid List screen.
