. Label, ME406P lithium battery pack (591-6499, 1 ea.)
Replacement: See Figure 17
1) Lay the battery pack on the work surface with the cells facing up.
2) Install the replacement seal in the slot along the perimeter of the housing.
3) Align the ELT with the new battery pack, holding it slightly above the pack with one hand, and then plug the flex-cable connector into the battery assembly using the other. The cable should not be twisted and the connector should ‘click’ into place. The battery connector is keyed to prevent incorrect installation.
4) Mate the ELT to the battery, making sure that the seal is positioned correctly during the process.
5) Replace the 8 securing screws and torque to 10 – 12 inch-lbs (113 to 136 Newton-cm).
6) Enter pertinent battery replacement information in the aircraft log book and fill out any other documentation required by local authority.
7) Install the duplicate copy of the expiration date label to a smooth clean surface that allows the label to be viewed while the ELT is installed.

4.4.6 G-Switch check
The G-switch is a calibrated electromechanical switch which closes when acceleration is applied to one of the switch axes. A basic test of the G-switch operation can be performed using the procedure outlined below.
NOTE: Even with the antenna cable removed, the ELT is capable of transmitting a significant distance. This test should be performed with the same precautions as described in the “Transmitter test” section of this manual; i.e. the test should be performed within the first 5 minutes of the hour and any local control tower is to be advised of this test.
Procedure:
1) Disconnect the antenna cable and remote switch harness connector from the ELT. Remove the ELT from the mounting tray.
2) Electrically ‘short’ pins 5 and 12 together on the D-sub connector of the ELT. Use Artex mating connector (P/N 150-1130) or equivalent 15-pin D-sub connector to fabricate a “shorting plug”.
3) Apply acceleration greater than 4.5 ft/sec by use what Artex refers to as the “football throw.” Hold the ELT like a football and use a rapid forward (throwing) motion in the direction of the label arrow, then rapidly reverse direction. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：DESCRIPTION, OPERATION, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL ME406P ELT(28)
