Should circumstances require a move to a more protected or
accessible area, the wrap-around auxiliary antenna allows continued
transmission of the distress signal, after removing the ELT from a
downed aircraft.
A lanyard connected to the ME406P allows the user to secure the
ELT to a person or object in order to avoid loss or potential
damage to the unit.

The mounting tray of the ME406P series is compatible with all
previous models of Artex 406 MHz ELTs, as well as the ELT200
series, Pointer Model 3000, Narco and ACK E-01 ELTs.

Warranty coverage is effectively extended from previous warranties offered on Artex products. To qualify for warranty coverage, a customer must do one of two things.
1) Provide the original packing list from Artex and/or Ulfsberg Electronics with a shipping date on it. The warranty period expires 24 months from the date shipped on the packing list.
2) Provide proof of installation date (Logbook entry, signed copy of the FAA form 337 the ELT was installled under, or other documentation stating such).
If the customer is unable to provide either methods of documentation, the warranty will apply for 24 months from date of manufacture listed on the ELT product label, with a 6 month instalation grace period - effectively 30 months.
For any inquiries regarding warranties, feel free to contact Artex products technical support at: support.prescott@cobham.com or by phone at USA 928-756-1615.
