After selecting the FIPS location(s), the “Alert NOT Ready...” message changes to
a
Send Alert
button. The alert can be sent immediately if no audio message or
language settings are needed. However, often the alert should have Pre-Alert Audio
Announcement or an Alert Audio Message file.
Content Language
These radio buttons dictate the language-related settings for Message Contents and
Audio within this gray’d section. When using both Primary and Extended languages,
these radio buttons allow the user to select individual configuration settings for each
language.
English and Spanish languages are standard within each EAS device. Users can choose
a
Primary Alert Language
and one or more
Extended Alert Language
from the
Setup
> Station > Main
screen (use the
Station …
hyperlink under the
View EAS alert header
and alert text translation
check box for quick access). These settings will encode a

language for both the Primary and Extended Alert Language setting, only one language
will be enclosed in the EAS alert message. Selecting two different languages will enable
both languages (Primary followed by the Extended Alert Language).
