Exploring Emergency Alerts
The HD Radio™ Experience | Here. Now. Everywhere. | Go ahead and get started.
Emergency Alerts (EA) is a warning system used by broadcasters to notify listeners about
potential hazardous situations related to extreme weather, floods, infrastructure failures, amber
alerts (child abductions), and more.
The Radio must be in an environment so that it can receive the audio and data services from a
station that broadcasts the Emergency Alerts.
When Emergency Alerts Monitoring is ON, the Radio will present the listener with audio and text-
based alerts; and, the alerts can even awaken the Radio from a standby mode.
Selecting and Changing the Settings for Emergency Alerts
Press MENU to access and view the “Emergency Alerts” screen.
NOTE: Out of the box, the Emergency Alerts Monitoring feature is set to OFF.
Press SEEK to change the setting for Emergency Alerts Monitoring.
Press ENTER to save the choice: “On” or “Off”.
Observe the Emergency Alerts Location screen (Location setting).
Press SEEK to highlight the setting for Location: “On” or “Off”.
If you choose to have the Location setting as “Off”, then all of the alerts that are broadcast
within the Radio’s range will be received. By default, the Location setting in the Location
screen for the Emergency Alerts feature is “Off”.
If you choose to have the Location setting as “ON”, then press ENTER after highlighting “ON”.
The options for Alert Location include: State/County, or, Zip Code.
When the setting for Location is enabled (“On”) and when various locations are defined in the
broadcast signal and when your location matches one of the locations in the broadcast signal,
then the Radio will display text alerts (or the alerts will awaken the Radio from standby mode).
