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. To
disable Imminent Threat Alerts (Extreme and Severe) and
AMBER Alerts, do the following:
1. From a Home screen, touch
2. Touch Menu
3. All alerts are enabled by default.
