NOTE: Any time the ELT is activated, it is transmitting a 121.5 MHz distress signal.
Therefore, all activations of the ELT should be kept to a minimum. Local or
national regulations may limit testing of the ELT or impose special requirements
or conditions to perform testing. For the “Self-Test,” Artex recommends the ELT
be “ON” for no more than 5 seconds. Testing should occur during the first 5
minutes after the hour.
