The Unication Alpha Elite is a 4-Line alphanumeric pager operational in the 900 MHz frequency range. The fully synthesized and rugged pager is both wideband and narrowband capable. The Alpha Elite uses FLEX coding technology and has 16 programmable addresses. On/Off Duty addressing has also been included to satisfy additional addressing requests for the public safety market. Four lines of text can display 20 characters per line or up to 80 characters total and can also zoom to a larger two line view for easier reading. The pager can store up to 19 personal messages, 10 of which can be locked in memory if desired. This prevents them from being replaced when memory is full.
