Day/Night Switch:
This switch should be left in the DAY (out) position for normal viewing. When
set in NIGHT (in), picture brightness is reduced. NIGHT should be used for
night viewing and driving through tunnels.
Bright Control:
Clockwise rotation increases the picture brightness. Counterclockwise
rotation decreases the picture brightness.
Contrast Control:
Clockwise rotation increases the picture contrast. Counterclockwise rotation
decreases the picture contrast.
Audio Control:
Clockwise rotation increases the volume level. Counterclockwise rotation
decreases the volume level.
The camera angle may be adjusted to display a suitable rear view. The camera
housing cover will need to be removed to gain access to the hexagon mounting
bolts. The mounting bolts can be repositioned to the desired angle. Refasten the
camera housing cover and seal using an appropriate sealant.
Whether you are a long time owner of recreational vehicles or just starting out,
backing up can be a challenge. Following some simple guidelines may help reduce
the challenge. When backing up, the driver (pilot) should be comfortable using the
mirrors, the back-up camera and the co-pilot’s directions (ground guide) for
assistance. Practice first, backing up with the co-pilot’s guidance in a large
unobstructed parking lot. Backing up is a team effort.
The backing up process should begin while the motorhome is in forward
motion. Maneuver the motorhome to align with the chosen site. This allows
straight alignment with the site. Aligning the motorhome with the site after the
backing process begins will require considerably more room than an automobile,
and may require more than one attempt. When the motorhome is properly aligned
with the site, the parking area will be visible in both mirrors. Use straight lines,
such as road markings, as reference points when possible.
If the destination does not have “pull-through” sites, try to pick a solid, level
site. If possible, pick a site located on the left side. This is the preferred side. The
driver will have a better field of vision by using the roadside mirror. If the site is
on the right side, the driver will have to use the curbside mirror for backing up,
which leaves a blind spot. When a potential site is spotted, stop the motorhome
before the site. Get out and observe the area for soft ground, posts, large rocks,
low hanging limbs or other obstacles. If the site meets the particular criteria,
prepare to back in carefully. Have the co-pilot provide guidance using the five
hand signals.
