## Discrepancy

WHILE IN CRUISE THE ELT TURNED ON, FLIGHT CREW ABLE TO RESET AND CONTINUED WITH FLIGHT.  TWO DAY LATER THE SAME THING, ABLE TO RESET, WHEN FLIGHT ARRIVED BACK TO MAINTENANCE BASE ELT WAS CHANGED AND TESTED OK.  TEAR DOWN REPORT INDICATED THAT G-SWITCH ACTIVATED DURING TEST AT -20 DEGREES CELCIUS.  SWITCH WAS CHANGED AND FUNCTIONED PROPERLY.
