12 VOLT DC (VDC) RECEPTACLES
USB RECEPTACLES
Your Phaeton is equipped with a 12 VDC receptacle conveniently located
inside of the center console (Figure 9-9). This 12 VDC receptacle can be
used for providing power to various items, such as cellular phones, person-
al computers, or portable communications equipment.
This receptacle is usually found on the bulkhead in front of the passenger’s
seat so that it is conveniently available to be used by the personnel in the
cockpit area. This receptacle accommodates the “cigarette-lighter” type of
connector.
The Phaeton is equipped with USB ports conveniently located on the front
dashboard and in the bedroom area as well as on the passenger console.
These ports allow for easy access when charging cell phones, laptop com-
puters, iPods, iPads or other tablets.

CONVERTER/INVERTER
Your motorhome is equipped with a 2800 or 2000 watt
Magna Sine Wave Inverter. When the 120 VAC power is
not available, either from the power cord or the genera-
tor, the inverter/charger (Figure 9-11) may be used. The
control panel for the inverter/charger is located above the
driver’s seat.
The inverter/charger has two modes of operation: IN-
VERTER (providing power to your appliances from the
batteries) and AC (running from shore power or a gen-
erator). Whenever the inverter is in AC mode, it passes
power directly to your appliances as well as recharges the
batteries using a 3-stage battery charger (Bulk, Absorp-
tion and Float). This approach to battery charging pro-
vides rapid and complete charging cycles without placing undue stress on the batteries. Inverter oper-
ation must be enabled on the remote panel.
With search mode enabled, the inverter pulses the AC output looking for an electrical appliance (typ-
