[0030] The position switch 11 is used to control the working state of the ELT, and is usually located in the cockpit for manually starting the ELT. In normal cases, the ELT switch in the cockpit should be in the ARM position, and the switch on the ELT should also be in the ARM position, so as to ensure that the ELT can be quickly started in an emergency to send a distress signal.

[0031] The indicator light 12 is used to display the state of the ELT. When the switch is ON, the indicator light 12 displays ON, AUTO or a horizontal bar; when the switch is OFF, the indicator light 12 displays OFF or a line. The indicator light 12 helps the flight personnel to understand the working state of the ELT and ensures the normal operation of the device.

[0032] The antenna connector 13 and the electrical connector 14 are important parts for connecting the ELT with the aircraft system. When the ELT is replaced or maintained, the external antenna connector and the remote control connector need to be disconnected, and a protective cover is installed on the electrical connector. These operations ensure that the ELT is not accidentally started during maintenance and unnecessary signals are avoided.
