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). If your wireless provider has chosen to
participate in CMAS/PLAN, alerts are available while in the
provider's coverage area. If you travel outside your provider's
coverage area, wireless emergency alerts may not be
available. 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:
• Alerts issued by the President
• Alerts involving imminent threats to safety of life (Extreme
and Severe)
• AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Threats
(Extreme and Severe) and AMBER Alerts. Alerts issued by the
President cannot be disabled.
To disable Imminent Threats and AMBER Alerts:
1. From a Home screen, touch Apps ➔
Messaging .
2. Touch Menu ➔ Settings.
3. Scroll downward and touch Emergency alerts.
4. All alerts are enabled by default (check mark showing).
Touch an alert option to disable it.
