The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspendtimer begins the countdown after the System Idle timer has expired. When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the powerscheme timers never place the Thor VM2CG in User Idle, System Idle, Suspend or Shutdown modes (even when the ThorVM2CG is idle).Using the UPS Power Scheme Defaults listed above, the cumulative effect results in the following:lThe backlight turns off after 30 seconds of no activity,lThe display turns off after 90 seconds of no activity (1 minute + 30 seconds),lThe Thor VM2CG enters Suspend after 11 minutes and 30 seconds of no activity,lAnd the Thor VM2CG shuts down after 31 minutes and 30 seconds of no activity.2-14
Rev. (a)Adjust Speaker VolumeThe Thor VM2CG has two speakers, located on the bottom of the unit.Speaker volume can be adjusted to a comfortable level for the listener by using the keypad or by changing parameters in theVolume & Sounds control panel.Using the KeypadNote: Sounds must be enabled (Settings > Control Panel > Volume & Sounds) before the following key sequences canadjust the volume.The volume is increased or decreased one step each time the volume key sequence is pressed.To adjust speaker volume, locate the Blue key located below the display. Press the Blue key.Adjust the speaker volume :lUse the P1 key for volume Up and P2 key for volume Down.lAdjust volume until the speaker volume is satisfactory.lPress the Blue again key to exit this mode. The Blue modifier also times out after 5 seconds of inactivity.The LED for the Blue key is lit as long as the blue modifier mode is active.Volume control using a keypad key press has volume setting increments that match those supported by the Volume andSounds control panel. Volume does not “roll-over” from minimum to maximum or from maximum to minimum. Continuouslyholding down the up or down arrow keys does not cause an automatic repeat of the up (or down) arrow key.Using the Control PanelStart > Settings > Control Panel > Volume & Sounds > VolumeChange the volume setting and tap OK to save the change.You can also select / deselect sounds for key clicks and screen taps and whether each is loud or soft.As the volume scrollbar is moved between Loud and Soft, the Thor VM2CG emits a tone each time the volume increases ordecreases in decibel range.2-15
Rev. (a)Set Date and Time ZoneTap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Date/Time icon or tap the Date/Time in the taskbar.Set Date, Time, Time Zone, and assign a Daylight Savings location on the Thor VM2CG after a warm boot or anytime.There is very little functional change from standard desktop PC Date/Time Properties options. Adjust the settings and tap theOK button or the Apply button to save changes to the registry. Any changes take effect immediately.Double-tapping the time displayed in the Taskbar causes the Date/Time Properties screen to appear.Grab Time UtilityThe GrabTime utility can be configured to synchronize the time with a local server during each reboot function.Tap the Sync button to synchronize date and time with a networked time server. By default, the Thor VM2CG operating systemfirst searches for a time server on the local intranet. If not found, it then searches the Internet for a time server. A connection tothe Internet is required for this option.Autolaunch Time-SyncStart > Settings > Control Panel > Options > CommunicationBy default, TimeSync does not automatically run on the Thor VM2CG. To enable TimeSync to run automatically on the ThorVM2CG using the GrabTime utility, check this checkbox.Synchronize with a Local Time ServerBy default, GrabTime synchronizes via an Internet connection. To synchronize with a local time server:1. Use ActiveSync to copy GrabTime.ini from the My Device > Windows folder on the Thor VM2CG to the host PC.2. Edit the copy of GrabTime.ini on the host PC. Add the local time server’s domain name to the beginning of the list ofservers. You can optionally delete the remainder of the list.3. Copy the modified GrabTime.ini file to the My Device > System folder on the Thor VM2CG. The System/GrabTime.inifile takes precedence over the Windows/GrabTime.ini file. System/Grabtime.ini also persists after a coldboot;Windows/Grabtime.ini does not persist.2-16
Rev. (a)Touch ScreenCalibrating the Touch ScreenIf the touch screen is not responding properly to stylus taps, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen.Recalibration involves tapping the center of a target. If you miss the center, keep the stylus on the screen, slide it over thetarget's center, and then lift the stylus.To recalibrate the screen, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Stylus > Calibration tab.Follow the instructions on the screen. Tap the OK button when complete, if necessary.Apply the Touch Screen Protective FilmThe Thor VM2CG touch screen protective film is shipped in packs of 10. The protective film is flexible and treated with an anti-glare coating on the outer surface.The protective film is slightly larger than the Thor VM2CG touch screen, however the notches on the edge of the protective film(indicated by arrows 1 - 4 above) correspond to the display size of the Thor VM2CG. The protective film is not adhesive. Thecorner edges are designed to fit between the Thor VM2CG display and the display housing to hold the protective film in place.A protective backing is applied to the rear surface of the protective film. A pull tab (item 5 above) is attached to the protectivebacking for easy removal of the protective backing from the film.Installation1. Make sure the touch screen is clean and dry before installation. Please review Cleaning the Display for instructions onsuitable cleaning agents.2-17
Rev. (a)2. Pull the release tab to separate the protective backing from the rear of the protective film. Avoid touching the rear side ofthe protective film while removing the liner.3. Place the rear side of the protective film against the Thor VM2CG display, roughly centering the protective film over thedisplay.4. Slide the protective film until one corner can be slid back between the touch screen and the display housing as theprotective film is re-centered on the display. It may be necessary to press the edges of the protective film against thedisplay to ensure the entire edge slides under the display housing. It is easiest to start with one of the bottom corners.5. Slide the protective film away from the other bottom corner. The film may bulge sligthly away from the User's Guide as itis being slid. Only slide the protective film enough so that the protective film can slide under the display housing on thatcorner when the protective film is returned to center.6. Repeat with each of the top corners, sliding the protective film away from the corner just enough that the protective filmcan slide under the display housing when the protective film is returned to center.7. It may be necessary to flex the protective film during the install, however use care not to flex the protective film so muchthat the protective film kinks.8. Once all corners are secure under the display housing, adjust the protective film, if necessary, so it is centered on thetouch screen.Removal1. To remove the protective film, slide the protective film in one direction until the edge clears.2. Lift up on the edge of the protective film so it does not slide between the touch screen and display housing when theprotective film is slid back to the center.3. Repeat until all edges are free and remove the protective film.Contact Technical Assistance about protective film packs designed specifically for your Thor VM2CG touch screen.2-18
