About Emergency Alert System (EAS)
In the case of a national emergency, natural
■
disaster, or other emergency situation, an EAS
message broadcasts. When this unit receives an
EAS message, if the level of emergency is
comparatively low, an alert text message displays
on screen. If the level of emergency is high, the
receiver is forced-tuned to a details channel.
Alert text messages display, and forced tuning
■
occurs, even during paid programming. Even
when forced tuning is active, the user can still
change the channel.
If the unit is forced-tuned to a channel that has
■
been blocked by Parental Control, the Parental
Control setting is given priority, and the EAS
message is not broadcast.
If you have a digital cable antenna connected,
■
you can receive EAS messages whether
CableCARD is inserted or not.
EAS messages may be broadcast not only through
■
digital cable, but also through analog cable or
over-the-air Analog transmission.
When forced tuning occurs, video output from the
■
Monitor Out terminal is also switched to the
details channel.
An alert text message does not output from
■
Monitor Out terminal.
