    If your iPhone is not running, then it will not be trackable. Find My iPhone will only locate your friend's phone if you set up iCloud on that phone using your Apple ID and password.

    Find my iphone is linked to the iCloud account used on the lost device.  If you sign in with your iCloud login, you will see those devices linked to your iCloud account - IF those devices are trackable which a device whose battery has died or which has been turned off is not.
