SDS100/SDS200: Factory Reset

[Para078]

I need to do a reset on my SDS200 to clean up some items. Do I need to remove the Sim card before resetting?

Do I need to remove the Sim card before resetting?

Long story short, No.

I would recommend you backing up your SD card first,
before doing the reset.

Better safe, than sorry.

Everything is stored on the SD card settings wise.

Heads up,
I think you may run into the clear user data error, after the reset.

Just use Sentinal to fix that.
I ran into that a few times in the past, lol

To keep from doing a reset, how can I take out the quick keys? I need to clean up this radio but don't want to screw up anything. Had this radio over two years and still haven't figured it out completely.

Use sentinel and read the scanner. Use sentinel to remove the quick keys you want to remove. Then write back to the scanner.

ProScan may be an easier way to edit favorite lists.

ProScan may be an easier way to edit favorite lists.

Not may be, definitely is I find it infinitely more intuitive than Sentinel.

Op does not have premium subscriber status so I figured he might not have @ProScan, which is why I spoke of Sentinel.

But yes and very true, Proscan is by far, the best software available for many Uniden scanners.

I agree - a factory re-set in the SD variant of scanners doesn't exist like it did with the non-SD scanners.

Rather, I would carefully look at all of the Favorites Lists in Sentinel to see whether any of them can be deleted or modified. That said, I found out the hard way once you delete a Favorites List, it is gone forever. So you might consider creating or exporting a Favorites List to an HPE file before deleting the Favorites List. That is a way of recovering if worst come to worst.

I'm assuming by "removing a Quick Key", you are really wanting to remove the Favorites List that is associated with a Quick Key. Just clearing a Quick Key won't delete any data within the Favorites List.
