Emergency Alerts
This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts from the
Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS), also known as the
Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN). For more information,
contact your wireless provider.
Emergency alerts allow customers to receive geographically targeted
messages. Alert messages notify 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:
1. Alerts issued by the President.
2. Alerts involving imminent threats to safety of life (extreme and
severe).
3. AMBER alerts (missing child alert).
Users may choose not to receive imminent alerts (extreme and
severe) and AMBER alerts.
Alerts issued by the President cannot be disabled.
To disable imminent and AMBER alerts:
1. Open the Settings app and select “Sound” from the menu.
2. Select “Emergency broadcasts.”
○ All alerts are enabled (turned on) by default.
3. Tap the checkbox to uncheck the alert you want to disable.
