CAUTION - Before shipping the Thor VM2, be sure to
The Thor VM2 is designed for use with a vehicle dock. The dock installs in the vehicle and connects to vehicle power. The dock
provides conditioned input power for the Thor VM2. Peripheral connections are on the dock. The Thor VM2 is designed to easily
be removed from the dock with a latch on the lower rear of the Thor VM2 housing. Since the dock remains attached to the vehi-
cle, the Thor VM2 computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a dock to another vehicle equipped with a
dock.
The Thor VM2 contains a UPS battery which, when fully charged, can power the Thor VM2 for a minimum of 30 minutes. This
can be when the Thor VM2 is not attached to a dock or when the Thor VM2 is attached to a dock but the vehicle power is inter-
rupted, such as when the vehicle battery is being changed.
The Thor VM2 can be used with or without an external keyboard. There are 5 programmable keys (P1-P5) on the front bezel
and, when used with the Orange modifier key, provide 5 additional programmable keys (P6-P10).
