Emergency Alert System
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national public warning system which requires all types of
broadcasters to make their services available during a national emergency. EAS is also used by state
and local authorities to deliver important emergency information (such as severe weather warnings) to
targeted geographical regions or areas. There are two types of emergencies:
NATIONAL EMERGENCY
In case of a national emergency, your set-top box(es) auto tune to a designated channel and remain
there for the duration of the message. You will not be able to tune away, hit menu, or do anything until
the message is finished. The set-top-box is unusable until a termination message is sent by authorities.
LOCAL EMERGENCY
For local emergencies, a screen appears during programming with an overlay describing the warning.
The EAS audio will also be heard. To dismiss the message, push Exit to TV on your remote.
