How to initialize global CMMotionManager for use by different classes?

Question

I am trying to initialize the device motion controller in a class that contains all of my global variables for use in different classes. However, I cannot get this work to work.

I have this in my global class:

// Motion Manager
CMMotionManager *motionManager;

Then set the property in the header file of another class:

@property (retain) CMMotionManager *motionManager;

And in the .m file I synthetize and run the updates:

@synthesize motionManager;

motionManager = [[CMMotionManager alloc] init];

if (motionManager.deviceMotionAvailable) 
    {
        motionManager.deviceMotionUpdateInterval = 1.0/100.0;
        [motionManager startDeviceMotionUpdates];
        NSLog(@"Device Started");

    }

But when I call it in my third grade:

motionManager.deviceMotionAvailable

It returns NO.

PD: both classes import the global class, and the third class imports the second header.

Good. It seems I can use a singleton class for this:

MotionManagerSingleton *Manager;

m:

Manager = [MotionManagerSingleton sharedInstance];

if ([Manager isDeviceReady]) {
    NSLog(@"Device Is Ready on Drawing View Controller");
}

referenceAttitude = [Manager getStartingAttitude];
