Help How to turn off loud Amber alerts (Acclaim)

My girlfriend's Acclaim just scared us. Very loud Amber Alert. How may we turn off the sound of the alert and still get the alert ? Second best = stop receiving these alerts.

I was able to turn of the audio alert on the LG Motion, but not the Acclaim.
 
Hmmm... That's odd... I think the "more..." Setting has been there since at least ice cream sandwich. What version of android are you on?

Just for reference here is my settings menu:

The "more..." Is right up there under wireless & networks (4th item down).


Then you see emergency broadcasts:

Followed by the list of broadcasts, including amber alerts:

Just so you know I wasn't putting you on...

Thanks for the pix! Her choices are different.

Under More Networks, there is Default messaging app, Mobile networks, VPN, and WiFi calling.
