## Discrepancy

AFTER INSTALLING A NEW NARCO ELT BATTERY, THE ELT COULD NOT BE RESET AFTER ACTIVATING THE ELT.  REPLACEMENT DATE OF BATTERY WAS 10-1-98.  BATTERIES HAVE A COMPUTER CHIP IN THEM SO ONLY NARCO BATTERIES CAN BE UTILIZED.  APPARENTLY FAULT WAS IN THIS CHIP.  AFTER INSTALLING ANOTHER NEW NARCO BATTERY, OPERATION WAS SATISFACTORY.
