Explore

•From the ActiveSync Dialog on the Desktop PC, tap the Explore button.

•From the Windows Mobile Device Center interface select File Management > Browse the contents of your device.

This function allows you to explore the Thor VM1 from the PC side, with some limitations. You can copy files to or from the mobile device by drag-and-drop. You will not be allowed to delete files or copy files out of the \Windows folder on the mobile device. (Technically, the only files you cannot delete or copy are ones marked as system files in the original build of the Windows image. This, however, includes most of the files in the \Windows folder).

Backup Data Files using ActiveSync

Use the following information to backup data files from the Thor VM1 to a desktop or laptop PC using the appropriate cable and Microsoft’s ActiveSync.

Prerequisites

A partnership between the mobile device and ActiveSync has been established.

•A desktop or laptop PC with an available USB port and a mobile device with a USB port. The desktop or laptop PC must be running Windows XP or greater.

•Use the USB-specific cable as shown above.

Connect

Connect the USB cable to the PC (the host) and the mobile device (the client).

The “Get Connected” wizard on the host PC checks COM ports to establish a connection for the first time.

Note: USB synchronization will start automatically when the cable is connected.

Disconnect

•Disconnect the cable from the Thor VM1.

•Open the status bar icon in the lower right hand corner of the status bar. Then tap the Disconnect button.

When the Thor VM1 loses connection, e.g. enters Suspend Mode, etc., the connection to ActiveSync will be lost. When the Thor VM1 resumes, the ActiveSync session will automatically re-connect.

Thor VM1 with a Disabled Touch screen

A Thor VM1 touch screen can be disabled via the Misc tab of the Options (page 5-78)control panel. In these cases, it may be easier to configure the Thor VM1 using ActiveSync and HSM Connect or LXEConnect rather than using the Thor VM1 keypad only.
