Emergency Alerts

This device is designed to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts
from the Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS).
Emergency Alerts are geographically-targeted and alert
customers of imminent threats to their safety within their
area. There is no charge for receiving an Emergency Alert.
There are three types of Emergency Alerts:
•
Presidential
•
Imminent (Severe or Extreme)
•
AMBER Alerts (missing person alert)
You may choose not to receive Imminent Alerts and AMBER
Alerts. Presidential Alerts, however, cannot be disabled.

and AMBER Alerts:
1. From the Home screen, touch
2. Touch Menu
3. Touch Emergency Alerts. Alerts are enabled by default
(a check mark displays). Touch an alert to disable it.
