2. Equipment limitations
Antenna - ELT cable with maximum permitted attenuation: 1db@400 MHz.
WARNING: ELTs are radio transmitters which emit radio frequency
radiation when activated. When transmitting, the user's minimum distance of
exposure is 0.20 meter.
For RF Fied strenght limits, please Refer to Section H. Transmitter
Technical Specifications page 107. RF Fied strenght limits have been
calculated according to Canadian RSS-102 Standard "Radio Frequency
(RF) Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All
Frequency Bands)".
For Canadian user, any information and/or contact on Radiofrequency (RF)
Energy and Health may be found on:

3. Activation
A. Standby mode for automatic activation
In order to be automatically activated by the crash sensor, the ELT must be in
standby mode. This mode is mandatory during the flight. We recommend to
switch off the ELT only when removed from the aircraft or when the aircraft is
parked for a long period or for a maintenance operation.
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ARM".
To operate the ELT with an optional Remote Control Panel, ensure that:
• The ELT switch is the "ARM" position .
B. Manual activation
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ON " (either on the ELT or on an optional Remote Control Panel
when connected):
- The ELT starts with the self-test sequence then, after 50 sec., transmits
on:
• 406 MHz (one 406 MHz burst every 50 seconds);
• 121.5 MHz (continous transmission between each 406 MHz burst
after the GPS lock) .
- During transmission, the buzzer operates and the red visual indicator
flashes.
