The wireless handbox can be ordered to have 1, 2, 3, or 4 buttons which can be used to instruct your music machine to play a song. In addition to these button an additional button is provided to turn the handbox on and off. If desired the on / off button can be replaced by a key switch. Very useful if the music machine is on public display and you only want select individuals to be able to play the music machine.
The handbox is also useful if you do not want people to get on the UMC wireless network or for people who are technology challenged and do not want to use a smartphone or tablet to play the music machine.
The wireless handbox is powered by AA batteries which fit inside the handbox. The handbox is shipped with batteries pre-installed. When it is time to replace the batteries all you need is a screwdriver to remove the end-cap of the handbox.
Below are the 1 and 4 button wireless handboxes (with and without key switch). The 2 and three button handboxes have the same form factor as the 4 button handbox, the unused buttons are replaced with plugs.
The buttons of the handbox have a lighted ring around them that is lit when the on/off power button is on (or the key switch is in the On position).
If desired, the handboxes can be easily mounted to a wall so they may be used as a wallbox.
The UMC will support up to 250 wireless handboxes connected at once.
A single UMC USB Receiver module must also be connected to the UMC for 1 or more wireless handboxes to operate. The UMC USB Receiver module is the thing the wireless handboxes communicate to. The UMC USB Receiver then forwards the communication (e.g., button 1 was pushed) to the UMC computer via USB cable.
