.................................................................................................................. 36 iii 1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION The FCC Wants You to Know This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. NOTE: The GRANTEE is not responsible for any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance. Such modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver;
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different;
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. from that to which the receiver is connected;
I.C. Compliance This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. General Precautions Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
Earphone Warning You can use an optional 32 stereo headset or earphone with your scanner. Using incorrect earphone or headset might be hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset. Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud 1 because of the volume or squelch setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal. Liquid Exposure Warning Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture!
Power DisconnecHon CauHon Important: Always turn the scanner off before disconnecting external power. Some settings are saved only as the scanner is powering down. Scanning Legally Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wireline
(telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission) Pager transmissions Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these transmissions. Do not open your scanners case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanners internal components or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization. 2 WHAT IS THE HOMEPATROL-2?
Unidens HomePatrol-2 is the rst digital TrunkTracker IV CommunicaSons Receiver that requires no user programming. Simply turn it on, enter your locaSon, and you will immediately begin hearing communicaSons in your area. This funcSonality is made possible by combining the rich radio system database from RadioReference.com with Unidens patented radio system selecSon methods to correctly idenSfy and monitor only nearby systems. With the HomePatrol-2, you can also listen to NaSonal Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministraSon (NOAA) weather channels and monitor weather alerts. Set your HomePatrol-2 to monitor these transmissions when it is in a standby state or when it is turned on. What are HomePatrol-2s Features System support:
o APCO 25 Trunked and ConvenSonal o Motorola Analog and Mixed Digital o EDACS Narrow and Wide o LTR o ConvenSonal o Phase 2 TDMA 2 GB micro SD for storing favorites lists and recording transmissions Factory programmed for all known radio systems in the United States and Canada Zip code entry for instant recepSon of local Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) City selecSon for instant recepSon of local services Autolocate that can quickly nd local systems even if you dont know where you are ConnecSble to a GPS accessory receiver (not included) for precise system selecSon and conSnuing reselecSon when traveling USB connecSon to PC for updates through HomePatrol-2 SenSnel sodware Weather Alert Standby (SAME) One-touch recording to capture transmissions for later playback OpSonal car mount kit Instant replay plays back up to 240 seconds (4 minutes) of the most recent transmissions. NOTE: This version of the HomePatrol-2 manual reects changes made in rmware update 2.02 and later. For informaSon on features added in the Extreme Upgrade, see the separate manual available by download at hep://info.uniden.com/HomePatrol. 3 HomePatrol-2 Version 2 StarSng with Version 2, the HomePatrol-2 includes many advanced features available by purchasing a registraSon key from Uniden. For informaSon on unlocking and using these features, see the separate HomePatrol Extreme Users Guide. Even without the registraSon key, you can take advantage of these advanced features, many of which can be programmed using HomePatrol SenSnel sodware:
Per-channel delay lets you determine how long the HomePatrol-2 stays on a channel ader the transmission ends. Longer delays help prevent missing replies. Shorter delays improve overall scanning speed. Beeer locaSon precision for systems allows you to dene a departments locaSon and range using up to 32 rectangles instead of a single circle (circles are sSll supported). MulS-Favorite List Support lets you monitor up to 256 Favorites List at a Sme, or combine Favorites Lists and the Full Database for monitoring. Channel Alerts sounds a programmable alert when a channel set to alert becomes acSve. Unit ID Tagging displays an alpha tag showing the informaSon about a specic radio unit being received. ID Search stops on all unavoided radio trac, even if the channel is not in HomePatrol-2s database. Emergency Alert sounds an alert when a unit triggers their emergency status (on compaSble radio systems). A coordinated HomePatrol-2 website (www.HomePatrol.com) provides a variety of support features and informaSon. Become part of the HomePatrol-2 family by ge]ng involved in the discussion forums. How Does the HomePatrol-2 Work?
What You Do When you set your locaSon, HomePatrol-2 searches its databases for channels near that locaSon. If you enter your zip code, HomePatrol-2 searches within a 10 mile radius of the center of that zip code. If you enter the city, that range is 20 miles from the center of the city. If you use the AutoLocate feature, that range increases to 30 miles. If you manually enter your laStude and longitude or connect an accessory GPS receiver, your HomePatrol-2 will select channels that apply to your precise locaSon. HomePatrol-2 uses these databases:
Radio System Database provided by www.radioreference.com, this database contains radio system informaSon including frequencies, trunked talk groups, and geographic locaSons for radio systems across most of North America. ZIP Code Geographic Database provides geographical coordinates for most zip and postal codes in the US and Canada. RadioReference SysID Database contains system ID and geographic locaSon informaSon for trunked radio systems across North America. City LocaSon Database includes the centerpoint of most named ciSes and counSes. 4 What You Hear in the United States Your HomePatrol-2 receiver has over 10,000 police, re, ambulance, business, uSlity, and other agencies set for instant access. You can also listen to weather channels and weather alerts, and you can set your HomePatrol-2 to monitor weather alerts while it is in a standby state. NOTE: There are some communica%ons that the public is locked out from monitoring. Your HomePatrol-2 cannot receive agencies that scramble their communica%ons; it also cannot receive agencies on private proprietary systems. Because there are so many dierent kinds of communicaSons going on, you can turn on specic types of agencies you want to hear (and turn o those you dont). Tap Menu/Service Types to select these agencies. Appendix C provides a list of service types and a brief descripSon of them. What Else Can HomePatrol-2 Do?
Create Favorites Lists As you nd 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, HomePatrol-2 will monitor only the transmissions on that list. Avoid Transmissions You can also select transmissions for HomePatrol-2 to avoid (ignore). Replay Transmissions HomePatrol-2s Replay feature acts as an instant replay of the transmissions youve 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 conSnue replaying it, you cannot save it for future listening. Record Transmissions With HomePatrol-2, you can tap a bueon and begin recording transmissions. When you begin recording, HomePatrol-2 adds the Replay recording buer to the recording. HomePatrol-2 will conSnue recording unSl you tap again to stop. These recording sessions are saved and can be replayed on demand. Rename and delete sessions through the Review Recordings screen, accessed through Advanced Menu/Replay OpAons/Review Recordings (tap on the session to bring up an opSons screen). Use GPS Input HomePatrol-2 works with an accessory GPS receiver to provide the most accurate locaSon se]ng possible. You can set HomePatrol-2 to use GPS se]ngs while you are traveling so you always receive the most accurate transmissions for your locaSon. A Word About HomePatrol-2 Pro2iles When you entered your zip code the rst Sme, you began creaSng your rst HomePatrol-2 prole. A prole contains se]ngs like your locaSon and associated transmissions from the database, Favorites Lists and Avoids, etc. You automaScally develop a prole as you monitor transmissions and save some to Favorites Lists, avoid others, and adjust how HomePatrol-2 receives and plays them. 5 HomePatrol-2 operates on a single prole at a Sme, so, if you want to signicantly change your current prole, save it to SenSnel rst. The saved prole becomes a snapshot of your HomePatrol-2 conguraSon at that moment. When you want to restore that specic prole later, write it back to HomePatrol-2. For example, if you are traveling to another city and you will be creaSng a prole for that city, write your current prole to SenSnel. You can restore that prole when you return and all your se]ngs will be saved. Refer to HomePatrol-2 SenSnel Sodware Help les for detailed informaSon about proles. Updating HomePatrol-2 Firmware From Sme to Sme, Uniden will release rmware updates to improve exisSng funcSonality, add new features, or address issues found in its operaSon. UpdaSng the rmware takes just a few minutes and is easily accomplished using the HomePatrol SenSnel Sodware you installed on your PC at HomePatrol-2 iniSalizaSon. If you did not install SenSnel sodware, refer to the HomePatrol-2 and SenAnel secSon later in this manual. Simply connect your HomePatrol-2 to your PC using the supplied USB cable and select Mass Storage. Then, in SenSnel select UPDATE ! Update Firmware and follow the on-screen prompts.

This scanning radio has been manufactured so that it will not tune to the radio frequencies assigned by the FCC for cellular telephone usage. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as amended, makes it a federal crime to intentionally intercept cellular or cordless telephone transmissions or to market this radio when altered to receive them. The installation, possession, or use of this scanning radio in a motor vehicle may be prohibited, regulated, or require a permit in certain states, cities, and/or local jurisdictions. Your local law enforcement officials should be able to provide you with information regarding the laws in your community. Modification Notice Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by Uniden, or operation of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Users Guide, could void your authority to operate this product. Part 15 Information This scanner has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a scanning receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This scanner generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this scanner does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the scanner on and off, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the scanner and the receiver This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. General Precautions Before you use this scanner, please read and observe the following:
Earphone Warning You can use an optional 32 stereo headset or earphone with your scanner. Use of an incorrect earphone or headset might be potentially hazardous to your hearing. The output of the phone jack is monaural, but you will hear it in both headphones of a stereo headset. 1 Set the volume to a comfortable audio level coming from the speaker before plugging in the earphone or headset. Otherwise, you might experience some discomfort or possible hearing damage if the volume suddenly becomes too loud because of the volume control or squelch control setting. This might be particularly true of the type of earphone that is placed in the ear canal. Liquid Exposure Warning Uniden does not represent this unit to be waterproof. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture!
Power Disconnection Caution Important: Always turn the scanner off before disconnecting external power. Some settings are saved only as the scanner is powering down. Scanning Legally Your scanner covers frequencies used by many different groups, including police and fire departments, ambulance services, government agencies, private companies, amateur radio services, military operations, pager services, and wireline (telephone and telegraph) service providers. It is legal to listen to almost every transmission your scanner can receive. However, there are some transmissions that you should never intentionally listen to. These include:
Telephone conversations (cellular, cordless, or other private means of telephone signal transmission) Pager transmissions Any scrambled or encrypted transmissions According to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), you are subject to fines and possible imprisonment for intentionally listening to, using, or divulging the contents of such a conversation unless you have the consent of a party to the conversation (unless such activity is otherwise illegal). This scanner has been designed to prevent the reception of cellular telephone transmissions and the decoding of scrambled transmissions. This is done to comply with the legal requirement that scanners be manufactured so they are not easy to modify to pick up these transmissions. Do not open your scanners case to make any modifications that could allow it to pick up transmissions that are illegal to monitor. Modifying or tampering with your scanners internal components or using it in a way other than as described in this manual could invalidate your warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. In some areas, mobile and/or portable use of this scanner is unlawful or requires a permit. Check the laws in your area. It is also illegal in many areas (and a bad idea everywhere) to interfere with the duties of public safety officials by traveling to the scene of an incident without authorization. 2 WHAT IS THE HOMEPATROL-1?
Unidens HomePatrol-1 is the first digital TrunkTracker IV Communications Receiver that requires no user programming. Simply turn it on, enter your location, and you will immediately begin hearing communications in your area. This functionality is made possible by combining the rich radio system database from RadioReference.com with Unidens patented radio system selection methods to correctly identify and monitor only nearby systems. With the HomePatrol-1, you can also listen to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather channels and monitor weather alerts. Set your HomePatrol-1 to monitor these transmissions when it is in a standby state or when it is turned on. What are HomePatrol-1s Features System support:
- APCO 25 Trunked and Conventional
- Motorola Analog and Mixed Digital
-
-
- Conventional EDACS Narrow and Wide LTR 2 GB micro SD for storing favorites lists and recording transmissions Factory programmed for all known radio systems in the United States and Canada Zip code entry for instant reception of local Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) City selection for instant reception of local services Autolocate that can quickly find local systems even if you dont know where you are Connectible to a GPS accessory receiver (not included) for precise system selection and continuing reselection when traveling USB connection to PC for updates through HomePatrol-1 Sentinel software Weather Alert Standby (SAME) One-touch recording to capture transmissions for later playback Optional car mount kit Instant replay plays back up to 240 seconds (4 minutes) of the most recent transmissions. A coordinated HomePatrol-1 website (www.HomePatrol.com) provides a variety of support features and information. Become part of the HomePatrol-1 family by getting involved in the discussion forums. How Does the HomePatrol-1 Work?
What You Do When you enter your location, the HomePatrol-1 searches its databases for channels within a specific distance from that location. If you enter your zip code, HomePatrol-1 searches within a 10 mile radius of the center of that zip code. If you enter the city, that range is 20 miles from the center of the city. If you use the AutoLocate feature, that range increases to 30 miles. If you manually enter your latitude and 3 longitude or connect an accessory GPS receiver, your HomePatrol-1 will select channels that apply to your precise location. HomePatrol-1 uses these databases:
Radio System Database provided by www.radioreference.com, this database contains radio system information including frequencies, trunked talk groups, and geographic locations for radio systems across most of North America. ZIP Code Geographic Database provides geographical coordinates for every zip code in the US. RadioReference SysID Database contains system ID and geographic location information for trunked radio systems across North America. City Location Database includes the centerpoint of most named cities and counties. What You Hear in the United States Your HomePatrol-1 receiver has over 10,000 police, fire, ambulance, business, utility, and other agencies set for instant access. You can also listen to weather channels and weather alerts, and you can set your HomePatrol-1 to monitor weather alerts while it is in a standby state. NOTE: There are some communications that the public is locked out from monitoring. Your HomePatrol-1 cannot receive agencies that scramble their communications or agencies on private proprietary systems. Because there are so many different kinds of communications going on, you can turn on specific types of agencies you want to hear (and turn off those you dont). Tap Menu/System Types to select these agencies. Appendix C provides a list of system types and a brief description of them. What Else Can HomePatrol-1 Do?
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, HomePatrol-1 will monitor only the transmissions on that list. Avoid Transmissions Just as you can save transmissions you want to hear again, you can also select transmissions for HomePatrol-1 to avoid (ignore). Replay Transmissions HomePatrol-1s Replay feature acts as an instant replay of the transmissions youve just heard. You can set how long a period Replay will record 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 HomePatrol-1, you can tap a button and begin recording the transmission youre listening to. When you begin recording, HomePatrol-1 adds the Replay recording buffer to the recording. 4 HomePatrol-1 will continue recording until you tap again to stop. These recording sessions are saved and can be replayed on demand. Rename and delete sessions through Replay Options. Use GPS Input HomePatrol-1 works with an accessory GPS receiver to provide the most accurate location setting possible. You can set HomePatrol-1 to use GPS settings while you are traveling so you always receive the most accurate transmissions for your location. A Word About HomePatrol-1 Profiles When you entered your zip code the first time, you began creating your first HomePatrol-1 profile. A profile contains HomePatrol-1 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 HomePatrol-1 receives and plays them. HomePatrol-1 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 HomePatrol-1 configuration at that moment. When you want to restore that specific profile later, write it back to HomePatrol-1. 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. Refer to HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Software Help files for detailed information about profiles. 5 HOMEPATROL-1 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE Hardware The HomePatrol-1 unit comprises a base unit and antenna.

After installing Sentinel, disconnect HP from the PC. HomePatrol-1 restarts the initialization process. Selecting Channels to Monitor HomePatrol-1 operations revolve around the ability for you to listen to the transmissions you want to. There are many ways to fine-tune the transmissions your HomePatrol-1 receives:
Change your location Select service types Change the Range Select a Favorites List to use Avoid transmissions While HomePatrol-1 selects channels, the Channel Selection screen displays. For the first 5 seconds, the screen shows the message 0 Channels Selected with Cancel (activated) and Other Option (deactivated) in the Feature Navigation bar. After 5 seconds, the screen shows the number of channels selected, increasing as more and more channels are selected. As more channels are selected, Other Options is activated and Cancel changes to Listen. If you select Other Options at this point, you can choose to take any of the actions listed previously except Avoid transmissions. 10 If your selection results in many channels, your HomePatrol-1 will warn you that it will take a long time to scan through all selections and recommend that you change your criteria to reduce the number of channels selected. Change Location There are five ways to change your location from the Menu screen:
Enter Zip Code. Tap Enter Zip Code and follow the prompts to enter a different zip code. Enter City. Tap Enter City and follow the prompts to specify a city to use as your location. AutoLocate.

You can create groups of related channels that you can have HomePatrol-1 exclusively monitor. For example, you can create a list entirely of police department dispatchers, emergency operations, or a specific citys transmissions. If there is a special event coming up, like a car race, you can create a list just for that event. You can save a maximum of 256 Favorites Lists. Once you have Favorites Lists saved on HomePatrol-1, you can copy them to HomePatrol-1 Sentinel on your PC. If you need to reset your HomePatrol-1, you can restore your Favorites Lists from there. Creating a Favorites List There is more than one way to create a new Favorites List:
From Fave on a submenu pop-up. While you are monitoring transmissions, open a submenu pop-up and tap Fave. This method is useful when you are already monitoring a channel youd like to save. If you dont have Favorites Lists already established, you can create a Favorites List and save the transmission location to it. NOTE: The FAVE submenu pop-up displays different screens depending on whether or not you have Favorites Lists already saved. Both of these procedures are described later in this section. Tap Menu/Manage Favorites Lists. This method is useful when you know you want to create a Favorites List for specific transmissions you know you will be monitoring. You can create the list and then save transmissions to it as you come across them. Avoid transmissions you do not want to listen to. You can create a new Favorites List database using the unavoided channels through Menu/Manage Favorites Lists; select Use Full Database for HomePatrol-1 to use all the unavoided channels to create the List. Use the HomePatrol Sentinel software to create a Favorites List (this is usually the easiest way.) All of these methods will take you to the Create New List keyboard, but through different paths.

This selector is used while traveling; if you have a GPS system in operation, you can set HomePatrol-1 to ignore GPS input and it will focus on transmissions from the last location set. Otherwise, HomePatrol-1 will continually update location based on GPS input. NOTE: The bottom row of the GPS Location screen will show the status of a connected GPS. 21 HOMEPATROL-1 AND SENTINEL SOFTWARE HomePatrol-1s Sentinel software, which you had the opportunity to load to your PC on installation, lets you manage your HomePatrol-1 profiles, Favorites Lists, databases, and firmware updates. Manage Profiles HomePatrol-1 profiles are snapshots of your HomePatrol-1 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 HomePatrol-1 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. Refer to HOMEPATROL-1 PROFILES later in this manual or HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Help files for more information and details on managing profiles. Manage Favorites Lists You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel and then associate them with specific profiles. When those profiles are written to HomePatrol-1, only those specified Favorites Lists are written. Refer to the HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Help files for more information and details on managing Favorites Lists. Manage Databases The HomePatrol-1 website updates transmission databases every week. You can decide how often you want to update the databases on your HomePatrol-1 unit. When you update them through Sentinel, it checks the website for the most current database and copies it to HomePatrol-1. Refer to the HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Help files for more information and details on managing databases. Manage Firmware Updates HomePatrol-1 updates its firmware through Sentinel. In that process, Sentinel connects to the internet and checks for the current firmware version to download. Refer to the HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Help files for more information and details on managing firmware updates. Installing Sentinel When you initially turn on HomePatrol-1, it will recommend that you connect HomePatrol-1 to your PC and install the Sentinel software. This is an optional step that could take several minutes. HomePatrol-1 will install to your PC like an additional drive. Allow it to Autorun. If you do not see the Autorun prompt, navigate to setup.exe in HomePatrol-1s main directory and run that program. How to Install HomePatrol-1 Sentinel Software If you have not already installed HomePatrol-1 Sentinel software, follow these procedures. 1. Use the USB cable to connect HomePatrol-1 to your PC. 2. Turn on HomePatrol-1 if it is not already on. The HomePatrol-1 screen turns white while it is connected to the PC. 3. Sentinel software installation should begin immediately.
