This section is like shaking hands with your Falcon for the first time. If you and your

Falcon F5 Receiver
Overview
The DigiTrak Falcon F5

receiver (locator) is a handheld unit used for locating and tracking a
Falcon wideband transmitter. It converts signals from the transmitter to display depth, pitch,
roll, temperature, and battery level, plus sends this information to the remote display on the
drill rig.
The receiver and transmitter must meet specific operational require-
ments for different global regions. A regional designation number is
located on the receiver’s startup screen. This number must match the
one stamped on the transmitter for proper communication.
