an owner-provided CB radio, that radio can be used to communicate with other travelers on the road. To
install and use the one’s CB system of choice, simply follow the directions
furnished with the CB radio. (Note: Channel 11 is considered an emergency
channel and monitoring this channel may give one information about road
conditions, accidents, and related matters potentially affecting the travels of the
motor-home operator).
To talk with someone, simply press the “push-to-talk” switch and speak. To
listen to any reply, release the “push-to-talk” switch and listen to the speaker.
Remember that communications are “one-way,” not “two-way”
simultaneously—one must talk, then allow some listening time for others to talk. Consequently, it’s better to
make brief transmissions and allow others to comment; rather than making prolonged speeches and possibly
not having anyone answer. Observe the common courtesies (see the owner’s manual for more details) and
acceptable speech. Several states have their Highway Patrols monitor the CB frequencies (check for exact
channels for each state of interest) to learn about highway problems and emergencies. Be aware of these
throughout one’s travels in the event that they may be needed.
Triple Vision Camera Monitor System
The rear-view monitoring system (Figure 4-22) is provided to aid the driver in backing and parking the motor
home. A camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle feeds a televised view of the
rear of the motor home to the monitor located in the front near the driver. If the
mode switch is in the “manual” mode, the monitor will be “on” when the ignition
switch is turned “on.” If the mode switch is in the “automatic” mode, the
monitor will display the picture from the rear-mounted camera only when the
transmission is in “reverse” gear. To use this system effectively, please consult
the owner’s manual for this system; this manual is in the Owner’s Information
Package.
Warning
Do not view TV or video programs while driving.
Cleaning and General Maintenance:
1. If your Phaeton has been parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature inside
the motor home, allow the unit to cool off before operating.
2. When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they might damage the casing.
