3.3.3.1 Monitor 121.5 MHz using the Aircraft Com Receiver or Portable Hand Held
Receiver. Turn the Squelch all the way up or ON.
3.3.3.2 Ensure that the main switch on the ELT is on “ARM” position.

Push the “ON” button on the Cockpit Remote Switch Unit. Verify that both the
Green ON lights, located on the Main Unit and the Cockpit Remote Switch Unit,
are flashing. Verify the Buzzer sound periodically. Verify the ELT audio sweep
tone can be heard on the Com Receiver.

Push the RESET button on the Remote Switch unit. Verify that the two Green
ON lights are extinguished. Verify the Buzzer sound ceased. Verify the ELT
audio sweep tone ceased.
G Switch Check: Activate the G switch by using a rapid forward (throwing) motion
coupled by a rapid reversing action. Verify that the ELT has been activated by use of
the Wattmeter, the Airplane’s VHF Radio Communications Receiver when tuned to
121.5 MHz, or other means (see Note 1). The ELT must then be reset by pressing
either the RESET push button located on the ELT main unit or the ELT Remote Unit.
Note 1:
This is not a measured check. It only indicates that the G-Switch is working.
Note:
In normal configuration, the main switch on the ELT Main Unit must be selected to
the “ARM” position. Whenever both the Green ON lights (located on the Main Unit
and the Remote Switch Unit) flash and the Buzzer sound periodically, they indicate
the ELT is transmitting.
If the ELT be accidentally activated by turbulence, hard landing, etc., or if this occur
under any conditions other than an accident requiring immediate assistance, pressing
the RESET button on the Remote Switch Unit.
If the Aircraft is on the ground and the RESET button on the Remote Unit does not
cause the Green ON light to extinguish, the RESET button on the Main Unit should
be pressed. If airborne and the RESET button on the Remote unit does not cause the
Green ON LIGHT to extinguish, the main switch on the ELT should be set to the OFF
position, if the ELT is accessible.
If the ELT is not accessible in flight, you should land at the nearest suitable airport
and set the Main Switch to the OFF position. In either case, the unit should be
inspected by qualified facility as soon as possible.
The Aircraft may be operated with the ELT removed for inspection or repair subject
to the conditions of FAR 91.207.
In the event of an accident, Push the “ON” button on the Cockpit Remote Switch
Unit. The ELT will be ON immediately.
