Avoiding Transmissions

Avoid in the submenu pop‐up. (Refer to Avoid/Unavoid Transmissions later in this manual for detailed
information.)
Selecting Nationwide Systems
Some systems contain information about common channels used nationwide. Systems like this include
Railroad frequencies, GMRS and FRS frequencies, and more. To enable these systems:

Tap the following:
Menu
Advanced Menu
Select Nationwide Systems

The list of nationwide systems displays. Scroll through entries, tapping UP or DOWN to change
pages. Tap on the nationwide systems you want to monitor. Selected entries turn orange.
Customizing Your Monitoring Experience
HomePatrol‐1 has many options that you can set according to your own preference. You can decide how
bright the screen will display, how loud screen taps are, and how long default time is when you tap
Mute. You can also set the defaults for instant replay length and automatic shutoff.
No single menu lets you adjust all settings at one time. You access these settings individually. Many,
however, are found in the Menu and Advanced Menu. The following table provides a quick guide to
these settings and how to access them. Detailed information for select operations follows the table.
