recorded when you press the RECORD button.

Note:

This option is only available on some

models.

Emergency Alert System (EAS)

The EAS works only if you have a digital cable card connected to the CableCARD slot on the back

of the TV. Your cable company informs you of emergency alert information related to your state or

local-level emergencies, such as Flash Flood Warnings, Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, and

Tornado Watches. When your TV receives a state or local-level emergency, a message is displayed

that lasts approximately 2 minutes, but can be repeated if necessary. During this time, you can’t

clear the information being displayed. In the rare event that there is an national-level emergency,

your TV would tune to a channel broadcasting the emergency information.
