Syncing to a computer
Now that Fitbit Connect is installed, your Zip will automatically and wirelessly sync with your computer every 20 minutes or so if the following requirements are met:
•Your Zip is within 15-20 feet of your computer and has new data to upload (meaning if you haven’t moved, an automatic sync won’t occur).
•Your computer is powered on, awake, and connected to the Internet.
•The wireless sync dongle is inserted into a USB port and is recognized by the computer.
To manually synchronize your Zip with your dashboard, click the Fitbit Connect icon on your computer (located near the date and time) and click Sync Now.
Setting up your Zip using a mobile device
You can set up and wirelessly sync your Zip using over 120 mobile devices that support Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible for syncing with your Zip, 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.
