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). 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 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)
Users 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, follow
the instructions below:
1. From a Home screen, tap Apps >
Emergency Alerts.
2. Tap More options > Settings > Alert types.
3. All alerts are enabled by default (check mark
showing). Tap on an alert option to disable it.
