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:

Setup Terminal Emulation Parameters
Before you make a host connection, you will, at a minimum, need to know:
l
the alias name or IP address (Host Address) and
l
the port number (Telnet Port) of the host system to properly set up your host session.
1. Make sure the mobile client network settings are configured and functional. If you are connecting over wireless LAN
(802.11x), make sure your mobile client is communicating with the Access Point.
2. From Start > Program, run RFTerm or tap the RFTerm icon on the desktop.
3. Select Session > Configure from the application menu and select the "host type" that you require. This will depend on
the type of host system that you are going to connect to; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400 5250 server or VT host.
4. Enter the "Host Address" of the host system that you wish to connect to. This may either be a DNS name or an IP
address of the host system.
5. Update the telnet port number, if your host application is configured to listen on a specific port. If not, just use the
default telnet port.
6. Select OK.
7. Select Session > Connect from the application menu or tap the "Connect" button on the Tool Bar. Upon a successful
connection, you should see the host application screen displayed.

Cleaning the Touch Screen
Note: These instructions are for components made of glass. If there is a removable protective film sheet on the display,
remove the film sheet before cleaning the screen.
Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the bar code reader scanning aperture and the mobile device touch screen.
If the glass becomes soiled or smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex® without vinegar or
use Isopropyl Alcohol. Dampen the cloth with the cleaner and then wipe the surface.
Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a
clean, damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not scrub optical surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint and particulates can be removed with
clean, filtered canned air.
Apply the Touch Screen Protective Film
Remove the protective film from its container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from a
corner of the film. Discard the backing.
Apply the film to the touch screen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display. If air bubbles appear, raise the film
slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass surface of the display. If dust, lint or
smudges are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the display and apply
the protective film again.
Contact Technical Assistance about protective film packs designed specifically for your Thor VX9 touch screen.

Connect Serial Bar Code Scanner
Refer to the documentation received with the bar code scanner for complete instructions. Read all warnings and
caution labels.
Pin 9 of COM1 provides +5V. Do not connect a serial bar code scanner to COM2 or COM4 as this may damage
the scanner, the Thor VX9 or both.
Pin 9 of COM1 must be configured to provide +5V. An LED illuminates near the COM1 connector when the +5V option is
enabled. The LED is off when RI is enabled.
Configuration of COM port power is handled via the VMT Manager option in the Control Panel. For more information consult the
Thor VX9 Reference Guide or the system administrator responsible for the configuration of the Thor VX9.
The scanner cable is attached to the COM1 port. The cable requires a nine-pin D-shell female connector for the Thor VX9.
Note: Use of a shielded cable is required to maintain emissions and susceptibility compliance.
Seat the connector firmly over the pins and turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction. Do not overtighten.
When you have finished using the scanner, remove it from the Thor VX9 and store the scanner in a closed container or bag.

Fuse
10 A (slow blow fuse)
3 A (for optional screen blanking box)
Fuses are USER SUPPLIED
Please refer to the appropriate wiring schematic below for wiring colors and connections:
For proper and safe installation, the input power cable must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. This
fused circuit requires a user supplied 10 Amp maximum time delay (slow blow) high interrupting rating fuse. If the
supply connection is made directly to the battery, the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 inches of
the battery positive (+) terminal.
The VX power supplies listed above are sealed per IPXX. Usage in areas where moisture can affect the power
supply connections should be avoided. The power supply should be mounted in a dry location within the vehicle or
placed in a suitable protective enclosure.
For installation by trained service personnel only.
Risk of ignition or explosion. Explosive gas mixture may be vented from battery. Work only in well ventilated area.
Avoid creating arcs and sparks at battery terminals.

Connect Vehicle Electrical Connection
1. Please review the proper wiring schematic illustration, later in this section, before beginning power cable install.
2. The computer must be powered off.
3. Begin by connecting the power cable to the Thor VX9. Work from this connection with the last connection being to the
vehicle’s power source.
4. Route the cable from the Thor VX9 to the DC to DC converter and, optionally, the screen blanking box. Cut the cable to
length and strip the wire ends. If the screen blanking box is not used, do not strip the green and yellow wires.
Route the power cable the shortest way possible. The cable is rated for a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). When
routing this cable it should be protected from physical damage and from surfaces that might exceed this temperature.
Do not expose the cable to chemicals or oil that may cause the wiring insulation to deteriorate.
Always route the cable so that it does not interfere with safe operation and maintenance of the vehicle.
5a. For models VX89301PWRSPLY, VX89A302PSDC48V, VX89303PWPSPLY only:
DC to DC Converter
Remove the lid from the DC to DC converter. Attach the stripped wire ends to the output side of the DC to DC converter.
Attach stripped wire ends to the input side of the DC to DC converter.
The input and output blocks each have two + and two – minus connectors. Either connector in the block can be used to
connect the matching polarity wire.
Use the looms and wire ties to secure all wiring then reattach the cover with the screws.
5b. For models VX89305PWRSPLY, VX89306PWRSPLY only:
DC to DC Converter
Attach the stripped wire ends to the output side of the DC to DC converter. Attach stripped wire ends to the input side of
the DC to DC converter.
The input block has one +Vi and one –Vi connection to connect the matching polarity wire.
The output block has two +Vo and two –Vo connectors. Either connector in the block can be used to connect the match-
ing polarity wire.
Use wire ties to secure all wiring, providing strain relief for the power supply connections.

6. If the screen blanking box is used for the Thor VX9 installation, attach the
stripped wire ends to the box. Refer to the applicable following diagram and
the label on the screen blanking box for proper wiring connection.
7. Connect the DC to DC converter to the vehicle’s electrical system.
8. While observing the fuse requirements specified above, connect the power cable as close as possible to the actual bat-
tery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always connect to unswitched terminals in vehicle fuse panel, after pro-
viding proper fusing.
ATTENTION:For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point after the ignition
switch of the vehicle.
9. If used, connect the wiring for the screen blanking box.
10. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized “crimp” type electrical ter-
2
minals are an accepted method of termination. Please select electrical connectors sized for use with 18AWG (1mm ) con-
ductors.
11. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot intervals, taking
care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate outer cable jacket.
