Falcon F1 Receiver – Side and Back Views
Overview
The DigiTrak Falcon F1™ 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 requirements 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.

Prior to use, the receiver must be paired to and calibrated with the transmitter.

Trigger Switch
The Falcon receiver has one trigger switch located under the handle for operating the system. Use it to turn
on the receiver, move through menu options, and change the screen view for depth readings. Click to cycle
through options or hold briefly and release to make a selection.
I passed the menu option I want; do I have to keep clicking?
After several seconds of inactivity, the display returns to the Locate screen and you can try
again.
