Getting Started

Overview

® ®
The Thor VM1 Vehicle Mount Computer (VMC) is a rugged, vehicle mounted computer running a Microsoft Windows CE 6
operating system and capable of wireless data communications from a fork-lift truck or any properly configured vehicle. Wire-
®
less communications are supported over a 802.11 WLAN network and, optionally, over a WWAN network. The Bluetooth mod-
ule supports Bluetooth printers and scanners.
CAUTION - Before shipping the Thor VM1, be sure to Disconnect UPS Battery (page 4-41) .
The Thor VM1 is designed for use with a vehicle Quick Mount Smart Dock. The dock installs in the vehicle and connects to
vehicle power. The dock provides conditioned input power for the Thor VM1. Peripheral connections are on the dock. The Thor
VM1 is designed to easily be removed from the dock with a latch on the lower rear of the Thor VM1 housing. Since the dock
remains attached to the vehicle, the Thor VM1 computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a dock to another
vehicle equipped with a dock.
The Thor VM1 contains a UPS battery which, when fully charged, can power the Thor VM1 for a minimum of 30 minutes. This
can be when the Thor VM1 is not attached to a Quick Mount Smart Dock or when the Thor VM1 is attached to a dock but the
vehicle power is interrupted, such as when the vehicle battery is being changed.
Contact Technical Assistance (page 11-1) for information on the latest upgrades for your Thor VM1.
