Slow Response to Commands on Touch Screen

  • Symptom: When the radio restarts you end up at the initial 6 page setup. The favorites and database would not respond
  • Resolution:
  1. Get a new 2 Gig SD card
  2. Use Windows to quick format it before putting it in the Home Patrol.
  3. Connect Home Patrol to computer, opened Sentinel.
  4. From the toolbar clicked on Homepatrol, clear user data, check the box for "Display all drives", highlight the drive and then click OK.
