A few months ago, I think. They used to be a floor kiosk, but they've since moved into the old Hollister space. I do like how a Japanese-themed space occupies a storefront modeled to look like a Southern California beachside bungalow.

Idk how it works in television but having worked in radio, I can tell you that these tones trip the EAS software/hardware to go into alert mode. Using this sound recklessly - like in a commercial - could trip the actual EAS to activate, though very likely without any messaging. You’d effectively be watching/hearing a blank alert. Moreover, “end tones” have to be played to allow the alert to conclude; without those tones, the alert stays active until someone manually ends it.

In short, don’t fucking play around with the EAS tones.

Imperial sold me a lemon, and every time I brought it in for service they managed to break 2 things for every 1 they tried to “fix.” The only upside was, I was still under warranty so I didn’t have to pay for anything. Bunch of clowns. I’ll never shop there again.
