Sentinel Software for the Uniden UBCD436PT and UBCD536PT.

Sentinel Software.

The following information and instructions are based on a Windows 7 operating system.

Sentinel version - UBCDx36 is for use with the following Scanners - UBCD436PT and UBCD536PT.
This software is NOT compatible with the US models BCD436HP or the BCD536HP.

The actual individual data files, known as a 'Favorites' that are created using the software can be shared between the US and AU models - this requires that the user imports the individual file into their respective software.
If you create a 'Favorite' in the AU version of the software it can be imported into the US version of the software, but the actual software itself does not communicate or recognise Scanners from a different country.


For the latest version of Australian Sentinel Software please use this link.
