Emergency Alerts

This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts from
the Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS) which may also
be known as the Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN). For
more information, please contact your wireless provider.
Emergency Alerts allows customers to receive geographically-
targeted messages. Alert messages are provided by the US
Department of Homeland Security and will alert customers of
imminent threats to their safety within their area. There is no
charge for receiving an Emergency Alert message.
There are three types of Emergency Alerts:

•
Severe)
AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
•
Users may choose not to receive Imminent Threats (Extreme and
