Honeywell Thor vm3 User Manual page 36

The Thor VM3 uses an optional rugged QWERTY 95 key keyboard, designed for ease of use with the Windows oper-
ating system. The USB keyboard connects directly to the D9 USB connector (Standard Dock) or USB1 connector
(Enhanced Dock).
• The 95 key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 standard keyboard plus Windows keys) and includes
an integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has 95 keys,
all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the keyboard supports what is called hidden keys
- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
• The 95 key keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight is manually controlled.
Keyboard Backlight
The keyboard backlight key in the top right hand corner has a light bulb icon.
The keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight is manually controlled using the backlight key in the upper
right hand corner of the keyboard. Pressing the backlight key cycles the keyboard backlight through the levels of
backlight intensity: Off, Low intensity, Medium intensity, Maximum intensity, Off, etc. When the Thor VM3 is pow-
ered on, the keyboard backlight defaults to Off.
Since the keyboard is a USB device, by default the external keyboard backlight is turned off when the Thor VM3
enters Suspend. This behavior can be changed by enabling USB power in Suspend on the Misc tab of the
Options (page 5-43) control panel.
21-key Numeric Keypad
A numeric keypad is available for the Thor VM3 in applications where a full keyboard may not be needed. The USB
keyboard connects directly to the D9 USB connector (Standard Dock) or USB1 connector (Enhanced Dock).
