General safety instructions
Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.
All electronic devices (e.g. mobile telephones, radios, televisions or DVD
players) which have been retrofitted to the vehicle and are operated
during the journey must have certain features: These are the CE certifi-
cation, the EMC inspection (electromagnetic compatibility) and the "E1"
inspection.
Only in this way can the functional reliability of the vehicle be ensured.
Otherwise the airbag may be triggered or interference to the on-board
electronics may result.
The vehicle is a safe place during a storm (Faraday cage). However, to protect
the electrical devices, disconnect the 240 V connection and retract the
antennae as a precaution.

12 V power supply
To disconnect all electrical 12 V appliances from the power supply, set the
battery cut-off switch on the transformer/rectifier to "battery off".
When the vehicle is not connected to the 240 V power supply or the 240 V
power supply is switched off, the living area battery supplies the living area
with 12 V DC. The living area battery has a limited power supply only. For this
reason, electrical appliances such as the radio and the lights should not be
operated for a long time without using the 240 V power supply.
When the vehicle engine is running, the vehicle alternator recharges the living
area battery and the starter battery.
The 12 V power supply can be cut off with the 12 V main switch on the panel.
The heater and the electric entrance step remain on standby. The refrigerator
is then only operated with 12 V if the vehicle engine is running. This helps to
prevent the living area battery from being run down too quickly.
Living area battery
Prior to commencing a journey ensure the living area battery is fully
charged. For this reason charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours
before commencing the journey.
During the trip, use every opportunity to charge the living area battery.
Charge the living area battery for at least 20 hours after the journey.
Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Total discharge causes irreparable damage to the battery.
Use only the built-in transformer/rectifier to load the living area battery.
Irreparable damage to the living area battery will result if it is overcharged.
For long periods of inactivity (4 weeks or more), either switch off the living
area battery using the battery cut-off switch on the transformer/rectifier, or
recharge it regularly.
If the starter battery or living area battery are disconnected, do not apply
the ignition. Danger of short circuit!
Take note of the battery manufacturer's users and maintenance instruc-
tions.
