8.  Signal with a mirror

A mirror enables signaling over long distances by 
flashing sunlight reflected in the mirror.

1.  Hold two fingers in a V-shape at arm’s length so that 

you see the target between your fingers.

2.  Keep the open compass mirror upright close to your 

eyes and turn the mirror until the reflected sunlight 
hits your fingers.

3.  Rotate the mirror left-to-right to create a flashing 

signal in the desired direction.

9.  Measure slope incline

Applies to MC-2 and MC-2 Global only.

The scale for declination correction on the back of the 
capsule also functions as a scale for the clinometer.

1.  Turn the capsule so that the bearing index is at 270° 

(due West) and tilt compass on its side with the 
declination scale downwards.

2.  If you have a clear view across the slope, align the 

compass to the slope with the back of the compass is 
facing you.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3.  OR, if you have a clear view up or down the slope, 

sight the top or the bottom. 

4.  Read from the clinometer needle to get 

approximate inclination reading.
