Do you just cover the light sensor and then 0 it? set it in the dark?

Mine is model 86, i couldnt find any info on it or how to calibrate it. These tings have come along way since this model. Amazing little things

I think the first link give you the PDF with the info. You set the film speed (ASA), then I would think there is a button to press to get a reading, then you turn the dial until the green "arm" lines up with the middle line, and you get your shutter speed and aperture reading then. How most analos work.
