How to put on your Charge
1.Put on the wristband so the screen is closest to the outside of your wrist and facing you.

2. Align both ends of the wristband so they are directly overlapping each other with the clasp over the two holes that best fit your wrist.
3.Squeeze both the clasp and the wristband between your thumb and forefinger until you hear a soft click.

You’ll know your Charge wristband is securely fastened if both pegs on the clasp are fully inserted.
NOTE: If you’re having trouble, try securing the wristband off your wrist to get a feel for how it securely clasps and then try again on your wrist.

Setting up your Fitbit Charge
You can set up and sync your Charge by using the Fitbit app for mobile devices or by installing Fitbit Connect on your Mac or PC.
Setting up on your mobile device
You can set up and wirelessly sync your Charge using select mobile devices that support Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible for syncing with your Charge, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If your device is listed, you can then download our free iOS, Android, or Windows Phone app and follow the installation process in the app.
NOTE: If your mobile device is not compatible to sync via Bluetooth 4.0, you can still use the Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress, you’ll just need to set up and sync using a Mac or PC.
Setting up on your Mac or PC
To set up your Charge using your computer, you’ll install Fitbit Connect. Fitbit Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Charge to your Fitbit.com dashboard and services. It lets you synchronize your data to the dashboard where you can view your stats in detail, log food, and more. Fitbit Connect is free to download at http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
