As mentioned check the switch and push "connect" to get house-batteries on the circuit for using DC and also needed for charging batteries while plugged into AC power.
If your batteries are "connected" the panel will work for showing: battery levels, fresh water, and black water holding tank levels.
It should be noted that you need to have the house-batteries "connected" for charging while camping on shore-power, and "disconnected" when stored and not able to plug in. If left connected they go dead in 2 weeks or less depending on how well they were charged when you got home from the last trip.
