Constructed to stand up to the corrosive effects of saltwater, this mirror uses an acrylic co-polymer construction rather than glass, so it resists cracking and corrosion in a marine environment. A built-in viewfinder lets the user aim the reflected sunlight precisely at a rescuer or passing vessel, while the attached lanyard keeps the mirror secured around the neck and ready to use without fumbling for it in a stressful moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSignaling range is rated up to 10 miles under the right sun conditions, making it a practical addition to a life raft, ditch bag, or emergency-supply kit. To use it, the mirror is held at eye level with the face positioned halfway between the sun and the rescuer; the user confirms the sun is reflecting through the viewfinder hole, sights the rescuer through the viewfinder, and rotates the mirror until the light becomes a bright ring, or sweeps the horizon if no rescuer is visible. Because it relies only on sunlight, it requires no batteries and does not wear out with storage. The compact, lightweight design mounts easily in a small storage compartment and pairs well with other Orion signaling and safety products aboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 916\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signaling Device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic co-polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirror Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 inches x 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 inches x 0.25 inches x 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Visibility Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 10 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viewfinder, lanyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Curvature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 077403232567\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far away can someone see the signal from the Orion 916 Signaling Mirror?\u003c\/strong\u003e Under good sun conditions, the reflected signal from the Orion Signaling Mirror (part 916) can be seen up to 10 miles away, making it effective for attracting rescuers or passing vessels at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Orion 916 come with a lanyard and viewfinder?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Orion 916 Signaling Mirror includes both a viewfinder for aiming the reflected light precisely and an attached lanyard so it can be worn around the neck and kept ready for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Orion Signaling Mirror made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from an acrylic co-polymer rather than glass, giving the Orion 916 mirror resistance to the corrosive effects of saltwater and better durability if dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of part number 916?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Orion 916 Signaling Mirror measures 7.25 inches by 0.25 inches by 5 inches with a 3 inch by 4 inch mirror surface, and it weighs 0.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use a signaling mirror to attract a rescuer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold the Orion 916 mirror at eye level with your face halfway between the sun and the rescuer, confirm the sunlight is reflecting through the viewfinder hole, sight the rescuer through the viewfinder, and rotate the mirror until the light becomes a bright ring;
