A microphone is located at the upper right of the Thor VM1 display, near the Thor VM1 emblem. 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 VM1 must be powered down to insert or remove an ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the CF ATA card, the Thor VM1 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 VM1 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 VM1. However, the Thor VM1 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the Thor VM1 displays a prompt for the PIN or passcode. Maximum encryption is 128 bit. Encryption is based on the length of the user’s passcode.

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.

Bar code data captured by the Bluetooth scanner is manipulated by the settings in the Thor VM1 Data Collection control panel applet.

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 VM1 during final bar code data manipulation.

WWAN

WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Networking) is available on the Thor VM1. A slot is provided for a SIM card.

GPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) is available on the Thor VM1.
