Emergency Alerts
This device is designed to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts
from the Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS).
Emergency Alerts are geographically-targeted, and alert
customers to imminent threats to their safety within their
area. There is no charge for receiving an Emergency Alert.
There are three types of Emergency Alerts:
• Presidential
• Imminent (Severe or Extreme)
• AMBER Alerts (missing persons)
Customers may choose not to receive Imminent Alerts and
AMBER Alerts. Presidential Alerts cannot be disabled. To

AMBER Alerts, follow these instructions:
1. From the Home screen, press the
Messaging
Key.
2. Press the Left Soft Key Settings ➔ Emergency
Alerts ➔ Receiving Alert.
3. All alerts are enabled by default (checkmark showing).
To disable alerts, highlight an alert and press MARK,
then press the Left Soft Key Done.
