2. Clip
3. Battery door tool
4. Wireless sync dongle
5. 3V coin battery, CR2025
Inserting the Zip battery

and turn the door counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Once the door has been removed, insert the provided battery into the back of
the unit, with the “+” sign facing up. The battery will rest in the center of the
compartment.
3. Once the battery is in place, align the arrow on the battery door with the
‘unlock’ icon on your Zip to put the battery door in place. Use the battery door
tool to ‘lock’ the battery door by turning it clockwise until the arrow on the
door lines up with the ‘lock’ icon.

your computer.
6. You are now ready to get started with setup.

Setting up your Zip
You can set up your Fitbit Zip using your computer or the Fitbit apps for iOS,
Android, or Windows.
Setting up your tracker with the Fitbit app
Over 120 mobile devices and Windows 10 PCs and tablets that support Bluetooth 4.0
technology allow you to set up and wirelessly synchronize your Fitbit One. To see if
your mobile device is compatible with your Fitbit Zip, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If
your device is listed, you can then download our app and follow the installation
process in the app. If your device is not listed, check back frequently because we’re
continually adding new devices.
Even if your mobile device is not compatible for syncing via Bluetooth 4.0, you can
still use a Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress—you’ll just need to set
up and sync your tracker using a Mac or PC.
Setting up your tracker using a Mac or PC and Fitbit
Connect
To set up your Zip using your computer, you’ll first install Fitbit Connect. Fitbit
Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Zip to your
fitbit.com dashboard, where you can view your data, log food, and more.

Downloading Fitbit Connect
1. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the pink Download button. If the button does not
correctly show your type of computer (for example, if it says “Download for
4
Mac” when you’re on a PC), choose the correct type before clicking the
button.
3. When prompted, save the file.
Installing Fitbit Connect and pairing your Zip
1. Plug your wireless sync dongle into your computer’s USB port and have your
tracker nearby.
2. Go to the folder containing the file you just downloaded and look for the
installation program:
- For Mac: Install Fitbit Connect.pkg
- For Windows: FitbitConnect_Win.exe
3. Double-click the file name to install Fitbit Connect.
4. Follow the brief onscreen instructions to finish setting up. You’re ready to get
moving.
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.
