Sensors
Compass, Accelerometer, and Gyroscope
The Mesa 3 has a built-in compass and accelerometer.
The accelerometer assists the compass in determining
direction, even when the device is not resting at. The
gyroscope senses change in angular motion. The compass,
accelerometer, and gyroscope can also be used by other
user applications.
Compass Calibration
The compass has been factory calibrated. Periodic user
calibrations help the compass function in the environment
the Mesa 3 is being used in.
1. Open an app that uses the compass.
2. Move the Mesa 3 around in the air so that it is oriented
in different directions and angles. An effective way to
assure this is properly done is to move the Mesa 3 back
and forth in a sideways gure 8 for approximately 30
seconds.
Bluetooth

Wireless Communication
The Mesa 3 has built-in Bluetooth
®
wireless technology,
allowing you to connect it to other wireless devices with
Bluetooth technology.
Creating a Partnership/Pairing a Bluetooth Device
To create a partnership between the Mesa 3 and another
device with Bluetooth technology:
1. Turn both devices on.
2. Place them within a few feet of each other. (The Mesa
has long range Bluetooth, but the other device might
not.)
