As soon as you’re done setting up FB504 & FB505, 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, please browse our comprehensive help content at
help.fitbit.com.

Set up Fitbit FB504 & FB505
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS, Android, or Windows 10. If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet, you can also use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC.
Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and gender in order to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. Your name and average daily step count are visible to other Fitbit users. You have the option to share your age, height, weight, or location with Fitbit friends, but the information you provide is private by default.
Set up with your phone or tablet
The free Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 devices that support iOS, Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
To get started:
1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. If you’re unsure if
the Fitbit app is compatible with your phone or tablet, see http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
Apple App Store for iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad. Google Play Store for Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Motorola Droid
Turbo 2.
Microsoft Windows Store for Windows 10 devices such as the Lumia phone or Surface
tablet.
2. Install the app. If you don’t have an account with the store, must create one before you can
download 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 your Fitbit account, or log in to your existing account.
4. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or “pair”, FB504 & FB505 to your
phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the watch and phone or tablet can communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
When you’re done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new watch and then explore the Fitbit dashboard.
Set up with your Windows 10 PC
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can set up and sync FB504 & FB505 using a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC and the Fitbit app.
To get the Fitbit app for your computer:
8
1. Click the Start button on your PC and open the Windows Store (called Store).
2. Search for “Fitbit app”. After you find it, click Free to download the app to your computer.
3. If you’ve never downloaded an app to your computer, you’ll be prompted to create an account
with the Windows Store.
4. Click Microsoft account to sign in with your existing Microsoft account. If you don’t already
have an account with Microsoft, follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.
5. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a series of questions
that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your existing account.
6. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or “pair”, FB504 & FB505 to your
phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the watch and phone or tablet can communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
When you’re done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new watch and then explore the Fitbit dashboard.
Connect to Wi-Fi
During setup, you’re prompted to connect FB504 & FB505 to your Wi-Fi network. FB504 & FB505 uses Wi-Fi to download playlists and apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster firmware updates.
FB504 & FB505 can connect to open, WEP, WPA personal, and WPA2 personal Wi-Fi networks. Your
watch won’t connect to 5GHz, WPA enterprise, or public Wi-Fi networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles. If you see fields for a username or domain when connecting to the Wi-Fi network on a computer, the network isn’t supported.
For best results, connect FB504 & FB505 to your home or work Wi-Fi network. Make sure you know the network password before connecting.
For more information about how to connect FB504 & FB505 to Wi-Fi, see help.fitbit.com.
Sync data to your Fitbit account
Regularly sync FB504 & FB505 with the Fitbit app to transfer data to your dashboard. The dashboard is where you’ll track your progress, see your exercise history, track your sleep patterns, participate in challenges, and much more. We recommend syncing at least once a day.
The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync data with FB504 & FB505 and to update apps installed on your watch.
Each time you open the Fitbit app, FB504 & FB505 syncs automatically when it’s nearby. FB504 & FB505 also syncs with the app every 15 minutes if All-Day Sync is on. To turn on this feature:
From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > FB504 & FB505 tile > All-Day Sync.
9
You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.
Wear FB504 & FB505
Place FB504 & FB505 around your wrist. The side of the watch marked with “fitbit” should be on the bottom of your wrist. If you need to attach the small wristband instead of the large one, or if you purchased an accessory wristband, you’ll find instructions on how to change the wristband in Change the
wristband.
Placement for all-day wear vs exercise
When you’re not exercising, wear FB504 & FB505 a finger’s width below your wrist bone.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising, keep these tips in mind:
Try wearing FB504 & FB505 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 could interfere with the heart-rate signal if the watch is lower on your wrist.
Make sure the watch is in contact with your skin.
10
Don’t wear your watch too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-
rate signal. However, the watch 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 watch doesn’t show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly (about 10 seconds). Then you should see a heart-rate reading.
Wrist
For greater accuracy and ease of use, FB504 & FB505 needs to know if you wear it on your dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. If you decide to move FB504 & FB505 to the other wrist, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

Turn on device lock
To help keep your Fitbit watch secure, turn on device lock in the Fitbit app, which prompts you to enter a personal 4-digit PIN code to unlock your watch.
