管理配置档案 / 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.
配置档案（Profile）是扫描机设置状态的"快照"，包含全部配置项、收藏列表、回避项和系统设置。
Sentinel 可保存多个 Profile，按需恢复。例如常去某地，可为该地建一个专属 Profile，到访时随时调用。
管理收藏列表 / MANAGE FAVORITES LISTS
You can create Favorites Lists in Sentinel and then associate them with specific profiles. Sentinel allows you to create your own systems, or edit systems already in a Favorites Lists. When those profiles are written to your scanner, only specified Favorites Lists are written to the scanner.
可在 Sentinel 中创建收藏列表并关联到指定 Profile；可自建系统或编辑列表中已有的系统。Profile 写入扫描机时，仅写入该 Profile 指定的收藏列表。
安装 Sentinel 软件 / HOW TO INSTALL SENTINEL SOFTWARE
If you have not already installed Sentinel software, follow these procedures. 1. Use the USB cable to connect your scanner to your PC. 2. Turn on the scanner if it is not already on. Select Mass Storage. 3. USB Mass Storage displays while it is connected to the PC. 4. The microSD card in your scanner will install to your PC like an additional drive. 5. Open the drive folder and Double-click setup.exe in the Setup folder. 6. When installation complete, Sentinel software is installed on your PC. 7. You can now disconnect the USB cable. 8.
Sentinel will automatically notify you if a more recent version is available.
安装步骤：1. 用 USB 线连接扫描机与电脑；2. 开机并选择 Mass Storage（大容量存储）模式；3. 连接期间屏幕显示 "USB Mass Storage"；4. 机内 microSD 卡将作为电脑的额外盘符出现；5. 打开该盘符，双击 Setup 文件夹中的 setup.exe ；6. 安装完成后 Sentinel 即装入电脑；7. 拔下 USB 线；8. 有新版本时 Sentinel 会自动提示。
固件升级 / UPDATING FIRMWARE
Your scanner updates its firmware through Sentinel. In that process, Sentinel connects to the internet and checks for the current firmware version to download. From time to time, Uniden will release firmware updates to improve existing functionality, add new features, or address issues found in its operation. Updating the firmware takes just a few minutes and is easily accomplished using the Sentinel Software you installed on your PC. Simply connect your scanner to your PC using the supplied USB cable and select Mass Storage. Then, in Sentinel select UPDATE/Update Firmware and follow the on-screen prompts.
固件升级通过 Sentinel 完成：Sentinel 联网检查并下载最新固件。Uniden 会不定期发布固件以改进功能、增加特性或修复问题。升级只需几分钟：用 USB 线连接扫描机并选择 Mass Storage，然后在 Sentinel 中执行 UPDATE → Update Firmware，按屏幕提示操作即可。
美版差异（社区补充）：美版机器首次开机的标准流程是"装 Sentinel → UPDATE → Update Master HPDB （更新数据库）→ 连机选 Mass Storage → UPDATE → Update Firmware → Scanner → Write to Scanner"（Uniden TWiki 官方指引）。欧版机器跳过"Update Master HPDB"一步即可，其余相同。美版固件最终版为 v1.28.14（2021-06-25）；官方警告只能用 Sentinel 刷固件，社区有用其他方式刷砖的案例。美版常见已知问题及处置（RadioReference FAQ 汇总）：① SD 卡数据库损坏——先关机、等约 10 秒再拔电，少用录音/回放，定期用 SD Card Formatter 格式化后执行 Sentinel "Clear User Data" 重建目录；② RTC 时钟掉电——内部备份电池需充电约 50 小时，2014 年早期批次有官方维修活动；③ 同频 simulcast 数字系统语音破碎——为本机单接收天线架构的固有局限（美版 SDS100 才根本解决），可尝试调整 Digital Threshold、更换天线位置缓解。
