Locating Basics
Are you ready? Page 43
If you're new to locating and first want to know everything about the locating screens,
you've come to the right place. If you already know locators and want to jump right in and
start locating with your Falcon F5 system, skip down to Interference.
Locating in a High-Interference Area
This section covers locating basics:

 Checking for interference and suggestions for dealing with it
 Performing a roll/pitch check
 Finding and marking front and rear locate points (FLP and RLP) and the locate line (LL)
to pinpoint the transmitter
 The geometry of the FLP, RLP, and LL with respect to the transmitter
 Methods to verify depth readings
Refer to the DigiTrak YouTube site at www.youtube.com/dcikent for helpful videos on
