Welcome to Fitbit Charge, the high-performance wristband tracker that helps you meet your fitness goals.
What’s included
Your Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity + Sleep Wristband box includes:
Charge wristband
Charging cable
Wireless sync
dongle
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.
FPO (adding illustration)
3. Squeeze both the clasp and the wristband between your thumb and forefinger until you hear a soft click.
2
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.

Pairing to a computer
Once Fitbit Connect is installed on your computer, you can pair your Charge to your account. This will allow you to sync your data and manage device settings.
Onscreen setup instructions guide you through the pairing process. Use the following steps if the setup guide doesn’t appear.
1. Mac users: On the Menu Bar of your Mac, click the Fitbit Connect icon and choose Open Main Menu. PC users: In the Windows System Tray, right-click the Fitbit Connect icon and choose Open Main Menu.
2. From the main menu, select Set Up a New Fitbit Device.
3. Account Setup:
a. Select New to Fitbit to set up your device if you don’t already have a
Fitbit.com account.

replace an existing device with your Charge.
NOTE: Only one Fitbit tracker can be paired to an account.
4. Enter or confirm your personal information and click Next. This information personalizes your Fitbit experience and improves the accuracy of your calorie burn and distance data. By default this personal information is visible only to your friends, but you can adjust your privacy settings from your Fitbit.com account to control what information is shared with others.
5. Choose Charge and follow the onscreen instructions to power on your Charge.
6. Insert the wireless sync dongle into your computer and click Next.
7. Fitbit Connect will search for your Charge. Once found, a four-digit number will appear on your Charge display. Enter this number where prompted and click

Wireless sync to a computer
Wireless syncing to Fitbit.com is automatic, as long as:

• Fitbit Connect is installed and running
When your Charge is within 15-20 feet of your computer, it will sync every 15 minutes.

Setting up Fitbit Charge Using a Mobile Device
Mobile device requirements
You can set up and sync your Charge using select mobile devices that support Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible with your Charge, visit http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
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.
Installing the Fitbit app
You can find the Fitbit app on the iOS App store or Google Play store by searching for “Fitbit.” If you already have the Fitbit app installed, check for available updates to make sure you have the latest version.
iOS pairing
Unlike most Bluetooth accessories, like headsets, your Charge must be paired directly through the Fitbit app, not through the Settings app on your iOS device.
1. Open the Fitbit app.
2. Create an account:
a. Select Join Fitbit if you don’t already have a Fitbit.com account.
NOTE: Click Log In if you’re an existing Fitbit app user. Only one Fitbit
tracker can be paired to an account.
If you’re replacing an existing tracker, at the top of your dashboard tap Charge and then Set Up a New Fitbit Device.
(TBD – may be possible to pair two trackers at once)
b. Tap Charge and then Set up your Charge. c. On the next few screens enter your personal information. This
personalizes your Fitbit experience and improves the accuracy of your
7
calorie burn and distance data. By default this personal information is visible only to your friends, but you can adjust your privacy settings on the Fitbit website to control what information is shared with others.
d. Enter your name and the email address and password that you want to
use for your Fitbit account.
3. Follow the onscreen prompts to power on your Charge. The app will begin searching for it.
4. Once the Charge is found, enter the four digits that appear on its display and click Next.
5. Once the Fitbit app shows the message “Your Charge is linked to Fitbit” you can tap Next to see an introduction to Charge.
NOTE: If you experience trouble pairing your Charge, you can get support at
http://help.fitbit.com.
iOS syncing
Your Charge can sync directly to supported iOS devices via Bluetooth. To see if your iOS device is compatible with your Charge, go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
As long as Bluetooth is enabled in the iOS settings, syncing occurs automatically every time you open the app and when the app is running in the background on your device.
Manual sync
To initiate a manual sync while the app is already open, tap Charge at the top of your dashboard and tap the Sync Now icon.
Real-time dashboard
You can use the Fitbit app to see your stats update in real time. Open the Fitbit app. Once your Charge syncs, a message stating that the Charge is connected will appear at the top of the screen. Take a few steps to see your stats update instantly.
