Zusammenfassung:	AN APPARATUS (20) SUCH AS A TELEVISION SIGNAL RECEIVER, RADIO OR OTHER DEVICE PROVIDES AN EMERGENCY ALERT FUNCTION. ACCORDING TO AN EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT, THE APPARATUS (20) INCLUDES A PROCESSOR (27) OPERATIVE TO DETECT A FIRST CONDITION WHEREIN SIGNAL STRENGTH ON A SELECTED CHANNEL FREQUENCY ASSOCIATED WITH THE EMERGENCY ALERT FUNCTION EXCEEDS A PREDETERMINED THRESHOLD, AND TO DETECT A SECOND CONDITION WHEREIN A BROADCAST TEST ASSOCIATED WITH SAID EMERGENCY ALERT FUNCTION IS PASSED. A VISUAL INDICATOR (30) IS OPERATIVE TO PROVIDE A PREDETERMINED OUTPUT IF THE FIRST AND SECOND CONDITIONS ARE DETECTED.
