When a headset is plugged into the adapter cable, the internal microphone is disabled. Card Slots CompactFlash (CF) Slot The CF ATA slot is not hot swappable. The Thor VM3 must be powered down to insert or remove an ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the CF ATA card, the Thor VM3 cannot operate without the ATA card. Secure Digital (SD) Slot The SD slot accepts an SD memory card. The SD card is hot swappable. Bluetooth EZPair The Thor VM3 contains Bluetooth version 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) up to 3.0 Mbit/s over the air. Bluetooth device connection (or pairing) can occur at distances up to 32.8 ft (10 meters) Line of Sight. The wireless client retains wireless connectivity while Bluetooth is active. The user cannot select PIN authentication or encryption on connections from the Thor VM3. However, the Thor VM3 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the Thor VM3 displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user’s passcode. 3-1 Bluetooth simultaneously supports one printer as a slave Bluetooth device and one scanner, either as a slave or as a master Bluetooth device. • The LED on the Bluetooth scanner illuminates during a scanning operation. • Multiple beeps may be heard during a bar code scan using a mobile Bluetooth scanner; beeps from the mobile Bluetooth scanner as the bar code data is accepted/rejected, and other beeps from the Thor VM3 during final bar code data manipulation. WWAN WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Networking) is available on the Thor VM3. A slot is provided for a SIM card. GPS GPS (Global Positioning System) is available on the Thor VM3. Power Vehicle DC Power Supply Vehicle power input for the Thor VM3 dock is 10V to 60V DC and is accepted without the need to perform any manual operation within the Thor VM3 dock, see 12-48 VDC Vehicles (10-60 VDC Direct Connection) (page 4-28). The dock provides a conditioned power output for the Thor VM3. By using a specified DC/DC power supply, input voltage of 50-150V DC can be accepted, see 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-37) or 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-37). Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible, see Fuse (page 3-4). External AC Power Supply If DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM3 is delivered to the Quick Mount Smart Dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable. See External AC/DC Power Supply (page 4-46). Uninterruptible Power Supply The Thor VM3 contains an internal UPS battery. The user can Replace UPS Battery (page 1-83) The UPS battery is automatically charged when the Thor VM3 is placed in a powered dock, provided the safe charging temperature conditions below are met. When external power is removed, the UPS automatically powers the Thor VM3 with no user intervention. When running on UPS power, the power management timeouts may be different than when vehicle power is applied. The UPS allows the Thor VM3 to continue operation when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is being swapped. When fully charged the UPS battery is designed to power the Thor VM3 for a minimum of 30 minutes at temperatures of -20ºC (-4ºF) or greater. For the extended temperature version of the Thor VM3, the UPS provides a minimum of 10 minutes of operation between -20ºC (-4ºF) and -30ºC (-22ºF). If operating on UPS power and the UPS battery becomes critically low, the Thor VM3 performs a controlled shutdown. If there is no external power available, there must be 10% or greater power in the UPS battery or the Thor VM3 does not power on. The UPS status LED and the Battery Control Panel can be used to monitor the state of the UPS battery. Safe Charging Temperature Range The internal temperature of the Thor VM3 is the trigger for UPS battery charging. • The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is below 0°C (32°F). This corresponds to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately -10°C (-14°F). • The UPS battery is not charged when the internal Thor VM3 temperature is above 45°C (113°F). This corresponds to an ambient (room) temperature of approximately 35°C (95°F). 3-2 • If the UPS battery cannot be charged due to a temperature extreme, the UPS Status LED (page 3-10) is amber. Move the Thor VM3 to a different location to charge the UPS battery. When the Thor VM3 is operated in an environment where the UPS battery is not able to charge due to temperature extremes, the Thor VM3 should be removed to a location within the safe charging temperature range during off hours. A discharged UPS battery cannot protect against data loss in the event vehicle power is interrupted. Charging Timeout • A fully discharged UPS battery normally recharges in less than 4 hours when the Thor VM3 is in a powered dock and within the safe charging temperature range. • If the UPS battery is not charged before an 8 hour (or 4 hours for some earlier software revisions) timeout period expires, the UPS Status LED (page 3-10) is amber. • The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes upon application of external power. • The charge timeout is reset if charging resumes when the Thor VM3 enters the permissible temperature range for charging. Charging and Power Management Backup Battery The Thor VM3 has a permanent Lithium battery installed to maintain time, date and CMOS setup information for a minimum of 90 days. The lithium battery is not user serviceable and should last years with normal use before it requires replacement. Note: The backup battery should only be changed by authorized service personnel. 3-3 Fuse The Thor VM3 uses an 8A time delay (slow blow), fuse that is externally accessible and user replaceable. The fuse is located on the back of the Quick Mount Smart Dock. The fuse is accessed by unscrewing the cap as indicated. Should it need replacement, replace with same size, rating and type of fuse: • Littelfuse 0215008.MXP • Cooper Bussmann BK1/S506-8-R • Bel Fuse 5HT 8-R or equivalent. Fuse has voltage on it even when power is off. Always disconnect input power before changing the fuse. Power Management Modes Power Controls Power Switch After all cables are connected, the Thor VM3 can be powered on. There is a power switch located on the back of the Quick Mount Smart Dock. The power switch is a rocker switch. The power switch has a raised bump to identify the switch position even when it is hidden from view. When the side of the switch with the raised bump is pressed, the power switch is On. If the dock is connected to external power, the dock delivers power to the Thor VM3. Generally, once the dock is powered On, there is no need to power it off. The dock power can remain On even when the Thor VM3 is not attached.

The Thor VM3 performs an orderly shut down when the power key is pressed when this option is enabled. 5-7 Hibernate Enable Hibernation Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate tab (Classic View) Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance> Power Options > Hibernate tab (Category View) By default, hibernate is on the Thor VM3. The default can be changed on this page. The disk space necessary for hibernation plus the free disk space on the hard drive are listed. 5-8 Screen Control Start > Control Panel > Screen (Classic View) Set screen properties for the Thor VM3. Factory Default Settings Screen Blanking (Blackout) Enable screen blanking Enabled Screen on delay (ms) 1000 COM Port COM1 Current Level LCD Brightness (%) 100 (see note) Note: There is no default value for Ambient Light % as it varies depending on the level of light where the Thor VM3 is located. 5-9 Screen Blanking Screen blanking allows the Thor VM3 display to automatically be turned off whenever the vehicle is in motion. Use the Screen on delay to specify the period of time in ms (milliseconds) between when the vehicle stops and the Thor VM3 screen turns on. For example, use the delay if the switch end of the cable is attached to the vehicle’s accelerator pedal. Release of the accelerator may mean the truck is coasting to a stop rather than stationary. Configure the delay to allow time for the vehicle to coast to a stop. The default value is 1000 ms. Specify the COM Port to which the screen blanking cable is attached. If a COM port is in use by another application, that COM port is grayed out and cannot be selected for screen blanking. Do not enable Screen Blanking until the cable is properly connected to the specified COM port. To disable screen blanking, uncheck the Enable screen blanking checkbox. See Screen Blanking (page 4-53) for hardware requirements. Refer to the wiring instructions, including appropriate cautions and warnings, in the Connect Power (page 4-35) section. 5 - 10 Screen Rotation Start > Control Panel > Screen Rotation (Classic view) The Screen Rotation panel provides options for rotating the display: 0 Degree - Returns screen to the default orientation. 90 Degree - Rotates the screen counter clockwise 90 degrees as compared to the default orientation. 180 Degree - Rotates the screen 180 degrees as compared to the default orientation. 270 Degree - Rotates the screen counter clockwise 270 degrees as compared to the default orientation. Select the desired rotation and tap OK. The screen may briefly go blank during the rotation process. Tap Close to dismiss the panel and keep the current screen rotation. Sounds Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices (Classic View) Start > Control Panel > Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices (Category View) Use the slider bar to adjust the volume level as desired. Alternatively: • Tap the Volume icon, if present, in the taskbar and move the slider until the volume level is as desired. User Accounts Note: The following applies to a Thor VM3 that is not part of a domain. When the Thor VM3 is part of a domain, the user is prompted for credentials at Windows startup or log on. The Thor VM3 is pre-configured with an administrator account named Administrator. By default, the Thor VM3 automatically logs onto the Administrator account at Windows startup. If the user assigns a password to the Administrator account: • The password is stored and used when the Thor VM3 logs onto the Administrator account at Windows startup. The user is not prompted to enter a password. • If the user logs off, the password must be manually entered to log back onto the Thor VM3. • At the logon prompt, the user could specify a different user account (and password, if necessary) to log on, assuming the account has been added to the Thor VM3. 5 - 11 • When the Thor VM3 is restarted, the Administrator account automatically becomes the active user account, regardless of the active account before the restart. If using the Windows Certificate Store (page 6-17) the user must assign a password to the active (Administrator) account. Sounds By default the side tone is muted. If needed, the user should enable the side tone. If this causes interfering noise, the side tone should be disabled. The VM3 audio is designed to be used with or without the side tone. This is acceptable permissible performance for the Thor VM3. Wi-Fi Start > Control Panel > Wi-Fi (Classic view) Provides a shortcut to access the 802.11a/b/g/n radio configuration utility. Tap the Wi-Fi icon to access the Summit Client Utility (page 6-1). 5 - 12
