UniMax Alert Amplifier

The UniMax Alert and Ring Tone Amplifier is designed to alert a pager or cell phone user to an emergency situation when not wearing their device or possibly asleep. The Amplifier has no electrical contacts, but is activated by sensing the audio alert of the pager or cell phone it is holding. The UniMax features 10 different audible alert tones that can be selected from a front panel pushbutton knob. A large red flashing LED serves as a visual alert when a call is received and will keep flashing as a reminder until reset. Once alerted, the UniMax’s alert tone volume will increase incrementally for 30 seconds until maximum volume is reached. The alert tone duration can be set to 1 minute, 3 minutes or continuous alerting through a 4-step slide switch. A mute position is also available.

The maximum alert tone audio level is exceptionally loud at over 100dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level), approximating the sound a jackhammer would produce at a distance of 3 feet.  The maximum level is set by pressing and turning the volume knob to the desired level, the knob having distinct indent settings to prevent accidental level change. 

The UniMax Amplifier is compatible with most pagers and cell phones, depending upon their physical size.  The nest of the UniMax measures 3.1” L x 0.75” W and if measuring from rounded corner to rounded corner, the length is approximately 2.6”.  A few of the pagers that will fit comfortably in the UniMax Amplifier include the USAlert Alpha 2, Alpha 4, and NP40 as well as the Alpha Elegant and Alpha Legend Plus.

The UniMax normally runs on power supplied through an AC adapter, but can also be powered by an optional rechargeable battery pack or three standard “AA” alkaline batteries.  If a rechargeable battery pack is installed and the main power through the AC adapter is interrupted, power will automatically switch over to the rechargeable battery pack.  A green PWR LED indicates the Amplifier is powered on and is active.
