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 extreme or severe threats to safety of life and property
• AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Threat and
AMBER Alerts. Alerts issued by the President can not be disabled.
To disable Imminent Threat Alerts (Extreme and Severe) and
AMBER Alerts, follow these instructions:
1. From the Home Screen, touch Messaging.
2. Touch ➔ Settings ➔ Emergency Alerts.
3. All alerts are enabled by default (set to ON). To disable
alerts, touch OFF.
