    What to do if my ARTEX Transmitter ELT will not turn off?

      Carl EdwardsAug 8, 2025
      If your ARTEX Transmitter ELT won't turn off, there are several potential causes: * The battery may be too low, causing the circuit to reset. Remove the battery pack to disable the ELT and replace the battery pack. * There may be a defective remote switch harness reset circuit wiring. Check the wiring continuity and repair as necessary. * The remote switch might be defective, requiring replacement. * The ELT itself could be defective. In this case, remove the battery pack to disable the ELT and return the ELT to the factory for servicing.
