I created a favorites but I’m not sure how to have the scanner just scan that favorites list?
May be a dumb question but can’t seem to get it

If you have more than one Favorites list that have already been written to the scanner via Sentinel, proceed as follows:
On the scanner, press
Menu
The top selection on the Menu screen is
Set Scan Selection
With that choice highlighted, press
E (yes/enter) to select
On the next screen, scroll down to highlight
Select Lists to Monitor
Press
E to select
On the screen that comes up next, you'll see all the favorites lists on the scanner. To the right of the list's name, you'll see
On or
Off
Lists labeled as
On will be scanned when monitoring, and the systems on them will be monitored unless toggled off when location control is used.
Highlight each list that you want to change status on. If labeled as
On, pressing the
E will toggle it to
Off. If it was set to
Off, pressing
E will flip it to
On, and it will be monitored. Turning off every Favorites list except the one you want will restrict the scanner to only the one Favorites list. If you left
all of them as
Off, you would get the famous "Nothing to scan"
In Sentinel, you can edit your Profile. On the Scan Selection tab, after you start the Profile editor, you'll see a list of all the Favorites lists in Sentinel.
Select one or more lists to
On in the Monitor column. Only those set to On will be monitored once you write the configuration to the scanner. Once you've done that, you can always change it on the scanner itself, as noted above, if you need to use a different Favorites list, or want to monitor an additional one. Make sure that the list you want to Monitor also shows as
Yes in the Download column. You can have a list set to be downloaded (Yes) but still set not to be monitored as default (Monitor set to Off). Also download any other lists that you want to be available on the scanner, even if you don't intend to monitor them at the current time. Those would be set as
Off in the Monitor column, but
Yes in Download.
As Mark noted, you can also do that with a
quick key.
