I've used this optic a couple of times since receiving it but have never used the illumination. I put in a brand new battery and thought it would light up by turning the illumination turret but nothing. Played with it for awhile but am unable to turn on the illumination. Is there something else that I need to do to turn illumination on?

I am having the same problem and right at the end of hunting season
Just purchased an unused Arken scope on E Bay. Had the same problem and turned the illumination settings several times and finally one setting came on and after more knob spinning 4 of the 6 settings are working. Connections probably dirty. Good luck with yours.
A known good battery, and adjusting the prongs on the illumination cap is about all. If it still doesn't work, email Arken Optics at info@arkenopticsusa.com, and they will fix you up!
The manual does not cover this. However I got it to work when I changed the battery and turned the knob. The dimmest setting is on one. In between the numbers it turns off. Hope this helps.
Mine doesn’t either. I’ve not seen instructions for it.
