Emergency Alert Configuration
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
• AMBER Alerts (missing child alert)
Customers may choose not to receive Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts, 
and AMBER Alerts. 
Important! Alerts issued by the President can not be disabled.
