HOW TO USE THE CALENDAR (QUICK GUIDE)
The calendar works by matching the year and month to the Dominical Letter.
• First, on the moon side, match the year. Find the Dominical Letter.
• Then, on the sun side, match the month (e.g. MAR for March) to the letter found.
• On the lower dial, find the date you are looking for (e.g. the 2nd day) and read which weekday letter it is under.
• The calendar is based on Spanish abbreviations for the days of the week and months (translations are provided in the instructions).
