Locating
The F5 receiver aides in locating the transmitter by detecting
three specific places in the transmitter’s magnetic field: the
front and rear locate points (FLP and RLP) and the locate line
(LL).
The most accurate tracking requires the use of all three
locations to determine the position, heading, and depth of the
transmitter. Aligning the FLP and RLP reveals the heading
and left/right position of the transmitter. The LL determines
the central position and depth of the transmitter.

Note how the RLP and FLP are equal distances from the LL
when the transmitter is level.
