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)
Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Alerts and
AMBER Alerts. Presidential Alerts can not be disabled. To
disable Imminent Threat Alerts (Extreme and Severe) and
AMBER Alerts, follow these instructions:
1. From the Home screen, touch
2. Touch Menu, then touch Settings
Emergency Alerts.
3. All alerts are enabled by default (checkmark showing).
To disable alerts, touch an alert to remove the
checkmark.
