Getting to know your Fitbit Alta HR
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 off the original band and putting on a different one.
Wrist placement
Review these tips to make sure you’re wearing your tracker correctly.
Wrist choice and dominant hand
For greater accuracy and ease of use, Alta HR needs to know which wrist you wear it on (right or left) and
which hand you consider dominant (right or left). Your dominant hand is the one you usually write or
throw with.
During setup you’re asked to choose the wrist where you're going to wear Alta HR. Should you later
decide to move Alta HR to the other wrist, change the Wrist setting. You can also change your dominant
hand at any time with the Handedness setting. Both settings are found in the Account section of the Fitbit
app.
Putting on your tracker
1. Place your Alta HR around your wrist. The top of the tracker is the side with the charging port.
The top of the tracker should be on the outside or top of your wrist.
