This allows you to select the alert priority level of the information disseminated by the cable operator. The standard SCTE18 defines an Emergency Alert signalling method for use by cable TV systems to signal emergencies to digital devices such as digital set-top boxes, digital TVs and digital VCRs.

The Emergency alert signalling scheme defined in the standard allows a cable operator to disseminate emergency alert information related to state and local-level emergencies and warnings in a cost-effective and efficient way, while minimizing disruption of programming.

An Emergency alert message will have one of the following priorities: Low, Medium, High or Maximum.

The Emergency alert message with priority High or Maximum will always be presented. Low or Medium will be present or ignored depending on the selected setting.

Important: When the TV clock is undefined (See Setup menu, Clock, p. 17), the Emergency Alerts will be ignored.

-The Emergency Alert text

-The start time + date

-The end time + date.
