Sensors
Compass, Accelerometer, and Gyroscope
The FC-5000 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.
The sensors in the FC-5000 have been factory calibrated.
Periodic user calibrations helps the compass be calibrated
to the environment it is being used in. A user calibration
consists of moving the device though all orientations and
angles.

Creating a Partnership/Pairing a Bluetooth Device
To create a partnership between the FC-5000 and another
device with Bluetooth technology:
1. Turn both devices on.
2. Place them within a few feet of each other. (The FC-
5000 has long range Bluetooth, but the other device
might not.)
3. Make Bluetooth discoverable on both devices. Bluetooth
on the FC-5000 is off by default. To activate it, open the
Action Center and press and hold the Bluetooth icon.
Select Go to settings.
4. In the Bluetooth settings screen, you should see a list of
all Bluetooth devices within range. Tap on the name of
the device in the list you would like to pair with, then
tap Pair. If prompted, enter the PIN or pass code of
the paired device. You should now be paired with the
device.
