Accelerometer auto calibration functionality has one purpose - determine how FMC device is mounted in a vehicle. After the calibration process ''eco driving'' functionality becomes active and calibration data will be used to determine harsh acceleration, braking and cornering events.

For next vector. Second vector will be taken if all conditions match. Immediately after second vector is received, it will be multiplied by first (ground) vector, the result of these vectors is vector multiplication cross product which is the right side of a car. By using same vector multiplication method, device front, left side will be calculated. At this point calibration is successfully ended as indication device sends an SMS/GPRS message with ''Device is calibrated, to recalibrate send:auto_calibrate:set''.

After every TRIP START event, device starts shadow calibration. This type of calibration is running in parallel with already saved vectors (this means that vectors does not reset until shadow calibration have both new vectors). After shadow calibration is done, device updates the vector values to the new ones. There are two conditions when shadow calibration does not run at TRIP start event:

If ignition (DIN1 or Power Voltage) is ON and the vehicle is not moving, FMB640 will generate the ''Excessive Idling'' event when the configured time period passes. When vehicle starts moving and configured period of time passes, FMB640 will generate event that vehicle idle time ends. Auto Geofencing option can be configured by the following parameters:

When towing function is engaged {{{model|FMC640}}} monitors accelerometer data. If acceleration ''Threshold'' or ''Angle'' reach configured values for a configured ''Duration'', and Ignition is still OFF for a period of time that is longer than ''Event Timeout'', then an event is generated. When configured, ''Make Call To'' and ''Send SMS To'' functions make a call or send an SMS to a predefined phone number. Towing function will be reactivated after {{{model|FMC640}}} detects a change of Ignition state from ON to OFF.
