computer.

“Overwrite?”, select Yes to All.

7. Restart the Thor VM2.
8. Disconnect from ActiveSync.

The touch screen may require calibration, however some Windows OS versions save the
calibration data, eliminating the need to calibrate.
If the Thor VM2 won't boot up after the upgrade is finished, contact
for re-imaging options.
BIOS
The Microsoft Windows CE operating system is installed before shipping. The default
BIOS parameters are configured at that time. In most cases, it is unnecessary to modify
the BIOS parameters.
Generally, it is only necessary to enter the BIOS setup to change the boot order of the
drives.
This section is not intended to detail all features of the BIOS, instead it is intended to
cover the most commonly used setup options.
Caution: Be very careful when using this utility to modify BIOS Setup
parameters. The Thor VM2 may generate unexpected results
when incorrect or conflicting parameter values are entered.
Selecting incorrect or invalid options may require the Thor VM2
to be returned for repairs.
The parameters should only be modified by Information
Services personnel or the system administrator.
