What's in this manual

We'll explain how to create a Fitbit® account and make sure your tracker can transfer the data it collects to your dashboard. The dashboard is where you'll set goals, analyze historical data, identify trends, log food and water, keep up with friends, and much more. As soon as you're done setting up Charge 3, you're ready to start moving.

Next, we'll explain how to find and use the features that interest you and how to adjust your preferences. For more information, tips, and troubleshooting, browse our comprehensive help content at help.fitbit.com.

Set up Fitbit Charge 3

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads, Android phones, or Windows 10 devices. If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet, you can also use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Keep in mind that a phone is required for call, text, and calendar notifications.

Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and sex in order to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. When you set up your account, your name and photos are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide is private by default.

Charge your tracker

A fully charged Charge 3 has a battery life of up to 7 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

To charge your Charge 3:

1.Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger.

2.Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of the tracker. The pins on the charging cable must lock securely with the port.

8

3.Make sure the button on your tracker is aligned with the button opening on the charging cable. You’ll know the connection is secure when you see a battery icon on the screen.

4.Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the button to check the battery level. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.

9

Set up with your phone or tablet

The free Fitbit app is compatible with most iPhones and iPads, Android phones, and Windows 10 devices. If you're unsure if the Fitbit app is compatible with your device, see fitbit.com/devices.

1.Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. • Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads.

• Google Play Store for Android devices. • Microsoft Store for Windows 10 devices.

2.Install the app.

3.When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a

series of questions that help you create an account.

When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your new tracker and then explore the Fitbit app.

10

Sync data to your Fitbit account

Sync Charge 3 to transfer data to the Fitbit app, where you can review your exercise history, see your sleep stages, log food and water, participate in challenges, and more. We recommend syncing at least once a day.

Each time you open the Fitbit app, Charge 3 syncs automatically when it's nearby. Charge 3 also syncs with the app periodically with the all-day sync option. To turn on this feature:

From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon () > Charge 3 tile > AllDay Sync.

You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

To learn more about syncing your device, see help.fitbit.com.

11

Wear Charge 3

Place Charge 3 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband, or if you purchased an accessory wristband, you'll find instructions in "Change the wristband" on page 14.

Placement for all-day wear vs exercise

When you're not exercising, wear Charge 3 a finger's width below your wrist bone.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising, keep these tips in mind:

•Try wearing Charge 3 higher on your wrist during exercise for an improved fit and more accurate heart-rate reading. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting, cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which can interfere with the heart-rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.

12

•Make sure the tracker is in contact with your skin.

•Don't wear your tracker too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal. However, the tracker should be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise than during all-day wear.

•With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may limit the sensor's ability to provide a heart-rate reading. If your tracker doesn't show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly (about 10 seconds). You should see a heart-rate reading.

13

Change the wristband

Charge 3 comes with a small wristband attached and an additional large bottom band in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold separately. For wristband measurements, see "Wristband size" on page 51.

Remove a wristband

To remove the wristband:

1.Turn Charge 3 over and find the band latches —there's one on each end where the band meets the frame.

2.To release the latch, press down on the flat button on the strap.

3. Gently pull the band away from the tracker to release it.

4. Repeat on the other side.

14

Attach a new wristband

To attach a new band, press it into the end of the tracker until you feel it snap into place.

If you have trouble attaching the band or if it feels loose, gently move the band back and forth to make sure it is attached to the tracker
