• If neither shutdown when idle nor shutdown if truck power is lost is selected, the timeout period begins as soon
as the Thor VM1 is powered on and is not reset by user activity or external power state.
Shutdown only if terminal is idle
Check the Shutdown only if terminal is idle checkbox.
When this option selected, the Thor VM1 shuts down after the specified timeout period of inactivity. If this option is
selected, the shutdown occurs regardless of the presence or absence of truck power.
Shutdown only if truck power is lost
Check the Shutdown only if truck power is lost checkbox.
When this option selected, the Thor VM1 shuts down after the specified period after truck power is removed. If
this option is selected, the shutdown occurs regardless of user activity.
Shutdown if terminal is idle or truck power is lost
Check both the Shutdown only if terminal is idle and Shutdown only if truck power is lost checkboxes.
When both options are selected, the Thor VM1 shuts down after either the specified timeout period of inactivity or
the specified period after truck power is removed, whichever occurs first.
Shutdown after time period
Do not check either the Shutdown only if terminal is idle or the Shutdown only if truck power is lost check-
box.
When neither is checked, the Thor VM1 shuts down after the specified timeout period. If this option is selected,
the Thor VM1 shuts down regardless of user activity or vehicle power status. The only way to prevent the shut-
down is to return to this screen and disable this feature.
Power
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power
The Thor VM1 power mode timers are cumulative.
The System Idle timer begins the countdown after the User Idle timer has expired and the Suspend timer begins the count-
down after the System Idle timer has expired.
When the User Idle timer is set to “Never”, the power scheme timers never place the device in User Idle, System Idle or
Suspend modes (even when the device is idle).
The Display > Backlight setting is synchronized with the User Idle setting in the Schemes tab in the Power control panel.
