## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION AND PERFORMANCE TEST OF ELT, THE UNIT COULD NOT BE ACTIVATED BY MEANS OF THE G-SHOCK SWITCH USING REASONABLE FORCES. THE UNIT WAS FINALLY ACTIVATED BY A SHOCK FORCE, HOWEVER, THE REQUIRED FORCE ALSO DESTROYED THE CASE OF THE UNIT. ESTIMATED IMPACT 25 PLUS G'S.
