Using the Device

• Accelerometer - Measures the linear acceleration of movement to detect the orientation of the device.
• Digital Compass - The digital compass or magnetometer provides simple orientation in relation to the
Earth's magnetic field. As a result, the device always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate digital
maps depending on the physical orientation of the device.
• Light Sensor - Detects ambient light and adjusts the screen brightness.
• Proximity Sensor - Detects the presence of nearby objects without physical contact.
In order to take advantage of these sensors, applications use API commands. Refer to the Zebra Android
EMDK for more information.
