HP LC3700N manual About Emergency Alert System EAS, Connecting and initiating CableCARD

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.
