Chapter 1  - Introduction
The Thor VM2 Vehicle Mount Computer (VMC) is a rugged, vehicle mounted computer running a Microsoft ®
Windows ® Embedded Standard 2009 operating system and capable of wireless data communications from a fork-lift truck or
any properly configured vehicle. Wireless communications are supported over a 802.11 WLAN network and, optionally, over a
WWAN network. The optional Bluetooth ® module supports Bluetooth printers and scanners.
Caution
Before shipping the Thor VM2, the internal
UPS battery must be
disconnected.
The Thor VM2 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 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 vehicle, the Thor VM2 computer can easily be moved from one vehicle equipped with a Quick Mount
Smart Dock to another vehicle equipped with a Quick Mount Smart 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 Quick Mount Smart Dock or when the Thor VM2 is attached to a dock but the
vehicle power is interrupted, 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).
