CMAS Alerts
Your phone is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts
from the Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS).
Emergency alerts are geographically targeted, and they alert
customers to imminent threats to their safety within their
area. There is no charge for receiving an emergency alert.
There are four types of emergency alerts:
•
Presidential
•
Extreme
•
Severe
•
AMBER Alerts (missing person alert)
You may choose not to receive Extreme Alerts, Severe Alerts,
and AMBER Alerts. Presidential Alerts, however, cannot be
disabled. You can also enable or disable audio or vibration
alerts. To disable Extreme and Severe Threat Alerts and
AMBER Alerts, do the following:
1.
From the
MESSAGING
menu, press
Settings
➔
CMAS Alerts
➔
Receive Alerts
.
2.
All alerts are enabled by default (check mark showing).
To disable alerts, highlight an alert and press
UNMARK
to remove the check mark. Or, press
Unmark All
to
remove all of the check marks.
Voicemail
Messages in your voice mailbox are logged in the Voicemail
box of the
Messaging
menu. Open the Voicemail box to view
the details of the voicemail message.
When you’re notified of a new voicemail message by an alert
tone and the new message icon, the following options
appear:
•
Listen Now
: Call your voice mailbox and listen to your messages.
•
Listen Later
: Return to standby mode, where you can call your
mailbox and review your messages later.
Tip:
You can also access your voicemail from standby mode,
by pressing and holding
to speed call your voice
mailbox.
