+    **Quickstart: Importing and using the device**
+
+        Here is an example of using the :class:`FXOS8700` class.
+        First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import board
+            import adafruit_fxos8700
+
+        Once this is done you can define your `board.I2C` object and define your sensor object
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            i2c = board.I2C()  # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
+            sensor = adafruit_fxos8700.FXOS8700(i2c)
+
+        Now you have access to the :attr:`accelerometer` and :attr:`magnetometer` attributes
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            accel_x, accel_y, accel_z = sensor.accelerometer
+            mag_x, mag_y, mag_z = sensor.magnetometer
