Question Start Ups

Hi guys 'n' gals

Just posting to see if any one knows the rules on start up concerning the headsets. Where i work we have not been shown how to use headsets and when i question them about it, i get the 'you dont need to know' kinda answer. The only reason i am concerned that i should know this is becasue, for example, i had to do a start up on a CRJ the other day and the angle that the sun was at (regardless of where i stood) made it impossible to see the crew (like looking at a mirror ) I could see the occasional movement from in the cock pit but could not make it out...if the capt had done the 'thumbs down' at any point i would of assumed it was thumbs up and walked off!

If i had been shown how to use the headsets i would not be 'guessing' whislt doing the start ups which is not good at all!

Any info would be great on the matter!
