Locating
Locating in High-Interference Area with the F5 Receiver
Introduction
Locating with the F5 system is relatively easy and intuitive, but you must understand some locating basics
first. This section describes the locate points and locate line; the geometry of these elements with respect
to the transmitter; the display screens encountered during locating; and the proper method for marking
locate points once they are found. You are then given the standard locating procedure, including tracking
“on-the-fly,” and a method for tracking the transmitter when you cannot walk over it, called off-track
locating.
For a detailed explanation of how to track the transmitter when it is steep and deep, please read the
information provided in Appendix B: Projected Depth Versus Actual Depth and the Fore/Aft Offset.
