Audio Interface

Speakers are located on the bottom front of the Thor VM2. A headset adapter cable provides a connection for headset operation. When a headset is plugged into the adapter cable, the main speakers are disabled.

A microphone is located at the upper right of the Thor VM2 display, near the Thor VM2 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 VM2 must be powered down to insert or remove an ATA card. Since the operating system is stored on the CF ATA card, the Thor VM2 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 VM2 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 VM2. However, the Thor VM2 supports authentication requests from pairing devices. If a pairing device requests authentication or encryption, the Thor VM2 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 VM2 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 VM2 during final bar code data manipulation.

WWAN

WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Networking) is available on the Thor VM2. A slot is provided for a SIM card.

GPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) is available on the Thor VM2.

Power

Vehicle DC Power Supply

Vehicle power input for the Thor VM2 dock is 10V to 60V DC and is accepted without the need to perform any manual operation within the Thor VM2 dock, see 12-48 VDC Vehicles (10-60 VDC Direct Connection) (page 4-34). The dock provides a conditioned power output for the Thor VM2. By using a specified DC/DC power supply, input voltage of 50-150V DC can be accepted, see 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-43)or 60-144 VDC Vehicles (50-150 VDC Power Supply, Screws on Top of Lid) (page 4-43).

Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible, see Fuse (page 3-4).

External AC Power Supply

If DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional external Universal Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level. AC to DC power input for the Thor VM2 is delivered to the Quick Mount Smart Dock via an optional external power supply and adapter cable. See External AC/DC Power Supply
