A classic tool for camping, backpacking, and emergency preparedness, the lightweight UST StarFlash Micro Signal Mirror has a built-in precision aiming system for accurate signaling. In addition to using it for emergency signaling, it€s handy for personal grooming as well. The virtually unbreakable Micro Mirror also features a lanyard hole for convenient attachment to gear, and it works even in overcast conditions or at night with moonlight or other light sources. 1 €“ Stand facing the sun or other light source in an open area with a clear view of the sky and, if possible, the horizon 2 €“ Reflect light from the light source onto your hand or other nearby surface making sure to not block the light from the light source to the mirror surface. 3 €“ Slowly bring the mirror toward your eye until the mirror touches your cheek. Look through the star at the reflected light on your hand (or other surface). A bright glowing spot will show in the star. This is the aim indicator. 4 €“ Holding the mirror close to your eye, and still looking at the aim indicator, slowly turn and angle the mirror until you €œplace€ the aim indicator directly on the object you wish to flash. If no target is in sight, continually sweep the horizon. NOTE: The StarFlash Micro is NOT a floating mirror.
