Page: 47 / 228

Display
The Thor VX8 Display is capable of supporting SVGA graphics modes. The display covering is designed to resist stains. The
touch screen allows signature capture and touch input. A display optimized for outdoor viewing is available.
The display supports screen blanking to eliminate driver distraction when the vehicle is in motion. Please see Screen Blanking
Box for details.
Cleaning the Display
Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the display. If the glass becomes soiled or smudged, clean only with a
standard household cleaner such as Windex® without vinegar or use Isopropyl Alcohol. 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/particulates can be removed with clean,
filtered canned air.
Touch Screen
The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a stylus, and translate them
into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse. Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used.
The touch screen is available in standard, hardened and defroster versions.
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use an actual pen, pencil or
sharp object to write on the touch screen.
An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered from Honeywell.
