•
Change your locaSon
•
Select service types
•

•
Select Favorites Lists to use
•
Avoid transmissions

screen shows the message “0 Channels Selected” with Cancel (acSvated) and Other OpAon (deacSvated)
in the Feature NavigaSon bar. Ader 5 seconds, the screen shows the number of channels selected,
increasing as more channels are selected. When channel selecSon completes,
Other OpAons is acSvated
and Cancel changes to Listen .
If you select Other OpAons at this point, you can choose to take any of the acSons listed previously
except Avoid transmissions.
If your selecSon results in many channels, your HomePatrol-2 will warn you that it will take a long Sme
to scan through all selecSons and recommend that you change your criteria to reduce the number of
channels selected.
