Getting started

The Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale measures body weight and body fat percentage
and automatically uploads this data to your online Fitbit dashboard.

Your Aria scale is shipped with 4 AA batteries that have been previously installed.
Pull the small plastic tab sticking out of the battery compartment to remove the tab
and power on your scale.

device.

• Do not use if you are pregnant.

Setting up your Fitbit Aria

Two methods are available for setting up your Aria scale:

• Use our downloadable software client on a Wi-Fi enabled computer. We

recommend trying this method first.

• Use our web-based setup tool on either a Wi-Fi enabled computer or a mobile

device such as a smartphone. We recommend trying this method if the client
method doesn’t work.

Setting up your scale with the software client

Fitbit Wi-Fi Scale Setup is the software application that connects your Aria scale to
your Fitbit.com dashboard. It is available to download at no cost from Fitbit.com.
Follow the instructions below for your Mac or Windows computer after verifying that
your computer and home network meet installation requirements.

Mac OS & Windows requirements

Software
Mac OS 10.5 or later
Internet Connection

Hardware

802.11b compatible Wi-Fi
Network card

Software
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8
Internet Connection

Hardware

802.11b compatible Wi-Fi
Network card

Networking requirements

The Fitbit Aria connects directly to your home’s wireless network and supports the
following network configurations:

• Wireless 802.11b standard

• WEP / WPA / WPA2 personal security

• Automatic (DHCP) IP setup (static IP configuration not supported)

Aria requires an 802.11b-compatible network to connect and sync your scale data to
your Fitbit dashboard. If your computer is not equipped with an 802.11b-compatible
network card, skip this setup method and go to “Setting up your Aria with the web­based setup tool” on page 4.

Installing the software client on a Mac

1. Make sure you have the following information about your wireless network:

• Wireless network name (SSID)

• WEP / WPA / WPA2 Password (if applicable)

If you don’t have this information, contact the wireless router manufacturer

3

or internet service provider for assistance.

2. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.

3. Click the Start Here link below the image of an Aria.

4. On the Setting up your Aria page that appears, click Download and save the

file.

5. Find the .dmg file in your Downloads folder and double-click it.

NOTE: If the file does not appear on your desktop, search for “Fitbit Wi-Fi Scale

Setup” using the Spotlight search feature.

6. Click Get Started and either set up a Fitbit account or, if you already have an
account, log in.

7. Enter or confirm your personal information and click Next. This information
personalizes your Fitbit experience. By default this personal information is only
visible to your friends, but you can adjust your privacy settings from your
Fitbit.com account to control what information is shared with others.

8. Name your scale and input your initials, then click Next. The setup software
will attempt to detect your Wi-Fi network. If the software does not detect
your Wi-Fi network, it will show all visible networks in range.

9. Select your network from the list. If your network is password-protected, enter
your password in the box to the right and click Connect.

NOTE: If your network is hidden or does not appear in this list, select Add

Network. Enter your network’s name and password and click Connect

to continue.

10. If you have not already put your scale into Setup Mode, the onscreen
instructions will direct you to do so by removing a battery for 10 seconds and
then reinserting it.

11. Click Connect to start searching for your scale. When your computer finds the
scale, the setup software will show a success screen. The software will
automatically transfer the wireless network credentials to the scale, and your
scale’s display will show a checkmark.

12. Click Done, place the scale on a hard surface, and weigh yourself to start
tracking your weight.

After you weigh yourself, you’ll see a checkmark on the scale that indicates a
successful sync with your Fitbit.com dashboard.

Installing the software client on a Windows PC
