I just discovered that my ELT (Pointer Model 3000-10) has a

of.
I'm surprised I'd never heard of that feature before.
It's good that you know it now. In an accident, it's not unheard of
to bang your head on something and to be quite loopy for awhile. I
wouldn't assume that one would necessarily discover the jack after an
accident (been there, done that). After crashing my Cessna, I wasn't
thinking clearly for the better part of a day.
