Languages
The Thor VM3 is shipped with a multi-language operating system. To change the lan-
guage displayed, go to the User Interface Language tab of the Regional Settings control
panel. Available languages are displayed in a pull-down list. After selecting the desired
language a reboot may be necessary. Use the Restart option on the Registry control
panel to reboot.
First Boot
When a new Thor VM3 starts up a EULA (End User License Agreement) may be dis-
played on the touch screen. It remains on the screen until the Accept or Decline button
is tapped with a stylus.
Tap the Accept button to accept the EULA terms and the Thor VM3 continues the
startup process. The EULA is not presented to the user again.
Tap the Decline button to decline the EULA and the Thor VM3 reboots. It will continue
to reboot until the Accept button is tapped with the stylus.
