Can't understand the accelerometer unit of Nordic Thingy

Hello,

I want to get the raw acceleration of the Thingy 52. however I can't understand the values I get from the raw acceleration. What is the unit used for raw acceleration? Is it in m/s/s ?
From what I have measured, it doesn't seems to be m/s/s, because the norm of my acceleration vector is about 0.0316 when the Thingy is still (instead of the expected 9.81 due to gravity).

In other words, it looks like my measured acceleration is about 310 times smaller than reality. Is that a normal result or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards

Emmanuel
