Silva Eclipse Pro compass - HOWTO?

zeltus said:

Hi
I've got hold of a Silva Eclipse Pro compass, which is complete EXCEPT
for the instructions (it ahs a set of cards embedded in it's rubber
boot, but they are totally enigmatic to me)
Has anyone else got one of these beasts and can let me have a copy of
the instructions? If past experience is anything to go by with Silva,
they'll be graphical but terse so I don't think they will take much
room.
If (yes, I know I'm pushing it) I could have said copy by e-mail,
that'd be truly excellent.
I'm OK with "normal" compasses, but sighting compasses are new to me -
and this beast has a built in inclinometer and gawd knows what else!
As ever, any help gratefully receive
Cheers
Bill

Hmmmm...sorry about that, I should have read it first 🙂
All it really does is explain the 1-2-3 system. Mind you, isn't teh one
you have just a more sophisticated version of the simple baseplate
model,

The Silva website has nothing remotely approaching "instructions" available
for download (other than the basic 1-2-3 method). The Recta website however,
does.

Go to http://www.recta.ch/e/index.html then "How to use" and "Downloads".
The DS series is near enough to the Silva.

I have a Silva Ranger Pro it's described as an Expeditional Mirror
Sighting Compass.

A 22 page booklet came with it, and not just diagrams.
