How is the emergency locator transmitter of the A320 fixed, activated and carried away? I've some closely related questions about the emergency locator transmitter, ELT, the "distress beacon", on the Airbus A320. From this question about antennas on the A320:

  

The ELT antenna seems to be located aft of the cabin.

However the ELT might need to be activated manually in case the acceleration sensor doesn't work. More importantly the ELT must be taken away if the crew/passengers decide to move away from the aircraft wreckage, e.g. after a ditching.

It could be interesting to know some details before being the only survivor of a A320 crash in the middle of the Amazon rainforest:


Were is the ELT located and how is it fixed?
How is it manually powered?
How is it connected to the fuselage antenna and to the overhead panel?
Is it possible to remove it from the aircraft and take it away?
It's a self-contained unit with its own battery, GPS transmitter and antenna, with a port that can be plugged into the antenna connector of the aircraft. Just disconnect, stick out the whip antenna, and swim downstream the Amazon :)

Here is Australia boats are required to bring a similar device on board called an EPIRB if going off-shore for more than a couple of miles, also a really good idea if driving from Darwin to Adelaide with a detour through the desert.
