English term or phrase: Locate
6.2 Recover from emergency stop
• Fix the problem that caused the emergency stop.
• Confirm the emergency stop event in the event log.
• ***Locate*** and reset the emergency stop button that gave the emergency stop condition.
Pull or twist to release the button.
• Press the Motors On button to recover from the emergency stop condition
=========
What does 'locate' mean here? I believe it is not 'find'. It would be very strange, because a user is supposed to have pressed the button, thus he/she should know where this button is... And if he/she handles with the equipment, he/she should know in any case...
