Emergency Alerts
This device is designed to receive wireless emergency alerts

may also be known as the Personal Localized Alerting Network
("PLAN")). If your wireless provider has chosen to participate in
CMAS/PLAN, alerts are available while in the provider's coverage
area. If you travel outside your provider's coverage area, wireless
emergency alerts may not be available.
