What’s in this document
We get you started quickly by creating a Fitbit® account and making sure the tracker can synchronize the data it collects with your Fitbit dashboard. The dashboard is where you can analyze your data, see historical trends, set goals, log food and water, keep up with friends, and much more. As soon as you’re done setting up your tracker, you’re ready to start moving.
Next, we explain how to find and use the features that interest you and adjust your preferences. To find more information, tips, and troubleshooting, please browse our comprehensive articles at http://help.fitbit.com.

Inserting the battery
1. Remove your Zip from its packaging and then use the battery door tool to unlock the battery door. Insert the tool into the slot on the back of the unit, 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.
4. Once the display comes on, you will be ready to proceed with setup. The device version of your Zip will appear on the display, followed by a series of smiley faces, which are used to represent your activity level. The display will remain on for 30 minutes after inserting the battery.
5. Take the wireless sync dongle from the box and plug it into a USB port on your computer.
6. You are now ready to get started with setup.

Setting up your Fitbit Zip
To make the most of your Zip, use the free Fitbit app available for iOS®, Android, and Windows® 10 mobile devices. If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can use a computer and fitbit.com instead.
Setting up your tracker on your mobile device
The Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 mobile devices that support iOS,
Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
To get started:
1. Make sure the Fitbit app is compatible with your mobile device by checking
http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
2. Find the Fitbit app in one of these locations, depending on your device:
The Apple® App Store® for iOS devices such as an iPhone® or iPad®.
The Google Play Store for Android devices such as the Samsung®
Galaxy® S5 and Motorola Droid Turbo.
The Microsoft® Windows Store for Windows 10 mobile such as the Lumia phone or Surface tablet.
3. Install the app. Note that you’ll need an account with the applicable store before you can download even a free app such as Fitbit.
4. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to get started. You’ll be guided through the process of creating a Fitbit account and connecting (pairing) your Zip to your mobile device. Pairing makes sure the tracker and mobile device can communicate with one another (sync their data).
Note that the personal information you’re asked during setup is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your estimated calorie expenditure. This information is private unless you go into your Privacy settings and opt to share age, height, or weight with Fitbit friends.
After setup you’re ready to get moving.
Setting up your tracker on your PC (Windows 10 only)
If you don’t have a mobile device, you can set up and sync your tracker on your Windows 10 PC using the same Fitbit app available for Windows mobile devices.
To get the app, click the Start button and open the Windows Store (called Store). Search for “Fitbit app.” Note that if you’ve never downloaded an app from the store to your computer, you’ll be prompted to create an account.
Open the app and follow the instructions to create a Fitbit account and set up your Zip. You can set up and sync wirelessly if your computer has Bluetooth®, otherwise you’ll need to use the wireless sync dongle that came in the box with your Fitbit Zip.

Setting up your tracker on your PC (Windows 8.1 and below)
If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can set up your tracker with a computer and see your Fitbit stats on fitbit.com. To use this setup method you’ll first install a free software application called Fitbit Connect that lets Zip sync its data with your fitbit.com dashboard.
To install Fitbit Connect and set up your tracker:
1. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the option to download.
3. When prompted, save the file that appears.
4. Double-click the file (FitbitConnect_Win.exe). The Fitbit Connect installer opens.
5. Click Continue to move through the installer.
6. When prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect your Zip. If your computer has Bluetooth, setup can take place wirelessly. If not you’ll be prompted to plug in the wireless sync dongle that came in the box with your Fitbit Zip.
Note that the personal information you’re asked during setup is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your estimated calorie expenditure. This information is private unless you go into your Privacy settings and opt to share age, height, or weight with Fitbit friends.
