Because it comes with nothing programmed into it. You can go on YouTube and look at its features/benefits and also do a zip code programming and set your range, so it doesn't put frequencies in too far away.

More than likely in your profile in Sentinel, either the FL was not selected to download and/or the FL was not selected to be turned on (which you can actually turn on in your scanner menu, as well).

In the profile, Download and Monitor must both be set to On for the favorites list when you Write to Scanner. Download sends the favorites list to the scanner. Monitor enables it to scan.
