Rebooting The Thor Vm3; Tapping The Touch Screen With A Stylus - Honeywell Thor VM3 Manual

Rebooting the Thor VM3

If a USB drive, such as a thumb drive is attached to the Thor VM3, the device attempts to boot from the USB drive:
• If the USB drive contains a bootable sector, the Thor VM3 boots from the USB drive.
• If the USB drive does not contain a bootable sector, the Thor VM3 may not boot. Remove the USB drive and boot
the Thor VM3 again.
Restart
A restart reboots the Thor VM3 without erasing any registry data. Configuration settings are preserved during a
restart. Network sessions are lost and any data in running applications that has not been previously saved may be
lost. The contents of RAM are erased and the operating system and CAB files are reloaded.
To initiate a restart:
• Using the Registry, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Registry and tap the Restart button. The Thor VM3
immediately restarts.
• Using the Start menu, select Start > Run and type RESTART in the text box. Press Enter. The Thor VM3
immediately restarts. The RESTART text command is not case-sensitive.
Clearing Persistent Storage / Reset to Default Settings
Use the Registry control panel Load Factory Defaults button to set the Thor VM3 registry back to factory defaults. No
other clearing is available or necessary.
Restart performs a controlled shutdown of the Thor VM3 and then restarts the device.
• If an optional keyboard is attached, use the Ctrl + Alt + Del keypress sequence to start the task manager. Tap the
Shut Down button and select Restart from the pull-down list. Tap the OK button to restart the Thor VM3.
• Select Start > Shut Down > Restart and tap OK to restart the Thor VM3.
• Tap the Windows icon (in the lower right corner of the screen) and select Power > Restart.
• Use the P1 + P5 + Orange key press sequence to reboot the Thor VM3. The keys must be pressed in sequence;
they do not need to be held down simultaneously.
• Use the P1 + P7 + Orange key press sequence to reboot the Thor VM3. The keys must be pressed in sequence;
they do not need to be held down simultaneously.

Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus

Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from
the screen.
Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen.
Using the stylus to tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:
• Open applications
• Choose menu commands
• Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
• Drag the slider in a scroll bar
• Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
• Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
• Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time.
A stylus replacement kit is available.
Note: The stylus is different for a Thor VM3 with a PCAP touch screen and one with a resistive touch screen. Be sure the stylus
is the correct type for the touch screen installed in the device.
When a dialog box is too large for the display, tap and drag the dialog box up or down or from side to side to view the remainder
of the dialog box.
