Using Your Fitbit Tracker
Charging
To charge, place the Tracker on any powered base station. For charging purposes only, the base
station can be plugged into any USB power source including (but not limited to):
A computer, whether the software is installed or not
A Wall A/C to USB adapter, commonly found with smartphones
A DC to USB adapter (vehicle power port)
It takes about one to two hours to go from empty to a full charge. You can charge more frequently
for shorter time periods for your battery to never hit empty.
A full battery will last a minimum of 3 days, but will typically last 5-7 days.
While on the charger, pushing the Tracker's button will display the battery indicator.
A battery indicator is also displayed on the website dashboard near your picture.
When the battery gets low, the Tracker will enter a power saving mode. You will see an empty
battery icon when you push the button. After several presses to the button, the display will stop
turning on to save the battery. Please charge your Tracker as soon as possible. The Tracker will
continue to collect data until it enters full shutdown mode.
To turn off your Tracker (other than draining the battery completely), place it on an unplugged base
station and press the reset button (found at the bottom of the base station).
To turn on your Tracker, place it on a plugged in base station.
Wearing the Tracker
The Tracker is best worn on your torso. This can include your waist or chest. You can also clip it to
undergarments. You might have to try different locations to see what works the best for you in
terms of accuracy.
The Tracker can be worn in the pocket for more convenience, but the steps and calorie counts will
be slightly less accurate.
Use the provided belt clip for thick belts and other thick clothing to prevent overextending your
Tracker.
The Tracker is water resistant, but not waterproof. Do not wear your Tracker during activities when
it might get wet.
