## Discrepancy

ANNUAL INSPECTION TESTING OF ELT IAW AC 43.13-1B, CHAPTER 12, PARA 12-22C.   THE G-SWITCH WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THE NORMAL ON FUNCTIONED SATISFACTORY.  WHEN THE ELT WAS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, G-SWITCH FUNCTIONED PROPERLY BUT WHEN COLD SOAKED IN THE HANGER IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE.  TRIED THE G-SWITCH NUMERIOUS TIMES AND IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE WHEN COLD.  BATTERY EXPIRATION DATE MAR 2007.
