Illuminated reticle help?

[sconie]

Hi troops,
I purchased a nikko stirling mountmaster that was supposed to be new :roll:, it has the illuminated reticle that is powered by a watch style cr2032 battery which I have changed, but I can't see any red or green illumination?

Does anyone have any experience of these scopes and am I missing something like a hidden power button.?

Otherwise it must be fecked and I'll have to start claiming a refund.

duff battery , right way round ?

Are you turning it on? No power button, rotate the dial

[sconie]

I changed the batteries several times, + side facing up as instructed, no power on button only R 1 2 3 4 5 & - G 1 2 3 4 5 for the Red and green settings, don't see any OFF or ON anywhere?

Looks like a pig in a poke

R (red) and G (green) are the off positions, 12345 are the brightness of the crosshairs

Thanks for that, still no joy on any of the settings though.

Back to the seller.
Cheers

Try the battery the other way around any way!

Got a pic of the contacts?

I don't read my own signature!

Make sure that contacts are nice and clean and you are getting a good connection.Also is the illuminating bulb or Led actually working and not NFG???.

I'll post a picture soon, but I can't see any way of accessing a bulb, never had one of these before, I've tried the batteries all ways, turned the knob to all settings in a darkened room, but not a peep of light.

Can the reticle light be simply broken or US out of the box?
