What you’ll find in the box Your Fitbit Blaze box includes: Fitbit Blaze Charging Cable Additional wristbands are sold separately. The screen detaches from the wristband for charging. What you’ll find 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.
Setting up your Fitbit Blaze To make the most of your Blaze, use the free Fitbit app available for iOS®, Android™, and Windows® 10 devices. If you don’t have a compatible mobile device you can use a computer instead, but keep in mind that a mobile device is required for key features such as notifications, music control, and connected GPS. Setting up your tracker using a mobile device The Fitbit app is available for more than 200 mobile devices that support iOS, Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
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 Blaze. You can set up and sync wirelessly if your computer has Bluetooth, otherwise you’ll need to plug your tracker into your computer directly via the charging cable.
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. If the button does not correctly show your type of computer (for example, if it says “Download for PC”), choose the correct type first. 3. When prompted, save the file that appears (Install Fitbit Connect.pkg). 4. Find and double click the file to open the installer program. 5. Click Continue to move through the installer’s instructions. 6.
Getting to know your Fitbit Blaze This section tells you how best to wear, navigate, and recharge your tracker. If you bought an accessory wristband, you’ll also find instructions for taking the original band off and putting on a different one. Wrist placement Review these tips to make sure you’re wearing your tracker correctly.
2. Do not wear your tracker too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart rate signal. That being said, the tracker should also be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise than during all-day wear. 3. With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may prevent the sensor from finding an accurate heart rate.
You’ll navigate your Blaze by swiping side to side and up and down. The default or “home” screen is the clock. On the clock you can: • • • Swipe up to see any notifications. Swipe down to control music and turn notifications on and off. Swipe left, then tap to open specialized menus. o Today—See your steps taken, heart rate, distance covered, calories burned, and floors climbed (collectively known as all-day stats). o Exercise—Swipe right to find a specific exercise.
At any time you can press the Back button to return to the previous screen and eventually the clock. Note: The functions of the Select and Action buttons depend on the screen. Generally they’re an alternative when you’d rather not tap the nearest action. Battery life and charging Your fully charged Blaze has a battery life of up to five days. Depending on use and settings, actual results will vary.
Charging your tracker To charge your Blaze: 1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or any standard USB wall charger. 2. Remove the tracker from the wristband. To do so, turn the wristband over and push the screen gently so that it detaches from the frame. 3. Put the tracker inside the charging cradle with the screen facing towards you. The four gold prongs should be aligned. 4. Close the cradle cover.

The heart icon you see next to your current heart rate tells you your zone: Out of zone • • • • Fat burn Cardio Peak When you’re out of zone, which means you’re below 50% of your maximum heart rate, your heart rate may be elevated but not enough to be considered exercise. Fat Burn zone, which means your heart rate is between 50% and 69% of your maximum, is the low-to-medium intensity exercise zone and may be a good place to start for those new to exercise.
