Training Information Point

The battery pack for the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) consists of 4 D size lithium manganese dioxide cells. The battery pack is in the bottom of the emergency locator

transmitter (ELT).

Replace the battery pack for one of these reasons:

· After use in an emergency

· After the ELT starts for an unknown amount of time

· If the ELT operates for more than 1 hour total use since battery replacement

· On or before the replacement date on the battery pack

· Visual inspection shows leakage, corrosion, or loose battery leads.

Normally, you replace the battery pack about 5 years after the battery installation date.

CAUTION: THE BATTERY PACK CONNECTS TO THE ELT WITH TWO SHORT INTERCONNECT HARNESSES.

THIS LIMITS THE DISTANCE OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO COMPONENTS BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT THE HARNESSES.
