## Discrepancy

ACK E-04 STARTED TRANSMITTING WHEN A/C WAS STATIONARY WITH BATTERY SWITCH OFF.  COCKPIT INDICATIONS: RED LIGHT ON REMOTE PANEL AND AUDIO ALERT SOUNDED. RESET ELT, OPERATIONS NORMAL THEREAFTER.  THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE ACK E-04 STARTED TRANSMITTING UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. PERFORMED SYSTEM CHECK PER INSTALLATION MANUAL AFTER OCCURRENCE AND SYSTEM CHECKED GOOD.  CONTACTED ACK WAITING THEIR RESPONSE.
