DuraXV Extreme Megaphone Icon

I just purchased the DuraVX Extreme a couple weeks ago. Today, shortly after an Amber Alert, I noticed a megaphone looking icon on the outer screen. I checked through and deleted the emergency alert to be sure it wasn't related, and it is still there. I scoured the user manual and I am confident that this icon is not mentioned at all. Any ideas?

That certainly doesn't sound like any normal Status icons with the DuraXV Extreme, and we know understand the icons on your phone is important, irishzeppelin902. Where is the megaphone icon appearing on your screen?

It is a normal status icon.  It shows up in the lower right corner of the Outer Screen directly above the 'ra'.  I would attach a picture but I "do not have permission to upload images".

I have the same issue. Last time i got an Amber Alert, i had to play with my phone for a while to get it to go away, and did it not knowing how. Just got another Amber Alert, removed the emergency notification for it, yet megaphone still exists. No mention of this anywhere in official use guide. 

i cant overstate how much i hate this phone. Verizon should be ashamed they put their name on thbis thing.

I don't know what the megaphone icon means either, but I discovered I can get rid of it by power cycling my phone off, then back on.
