Sentinel Software
Sentinel Software lets you manage your Profiles, Favorites Lists, Databases, and
firmware updates.
Manage Profiles
Profiles are "snapshots" of your scanner's set up. A profile contains all your
configuration settings as well as all of your Favorites Lists, Avoids, and System
settings. Sentinel can save multiple profiles so you can also restore different
profiles as you need them. For example, If you regularly visit a specific location,
you can create a profile for that location. You can save it to Sentinel to use
whenever you visit.
Manage Favorites Lists
You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel and then associate them with specific
profiles. When those profiles are written to your scanner, only those specified
Favorites Lists are written.
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 "Write to Scanner" the new database is updated in
the scanner.
Create New or Edit Existing Systems
Sentinel allows you to create your own systems, or edit systems already in a
Favorites list. These systems can include information not provided by the weekly
database downloads.
Share Favorites Lists
Create and share Favorites lists with your friends or others in the HomePatrol
Community at http://www.HomePatrol.com and the HomePatrol Twiki site at
http://info.uniden.com/HomePatrol for Favorites Lists that cover common services
such as Railroad, Marine Radio, Civilian and Military Air bands, and more.
Manage Firmware Updates
Your scanner updates its firmware through Sentinel. In that process, Sentinel
connects to the internet and checks for the current firmware version to download.
Installing Sentinel
The SD card in your scanner will install to your PC like an additional drive. Open
the drive and navigate to the setup.exe file in the Setup folder. Double‐click
setup.exe.
