Receiving Call, Text, & Calendar Notifications
Over 200 compatible iOS and Android mobile devices let you receive incoming phone call, text message,
and calendar event notifications on your Alta HR. To determine whether your device supports this
feature, go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices. Note that notifications aren’t available with the Fitbit app for
Windows.
Calendar requirements
Your tracker will show calendar events and any information sent from your calendar app to your mobile
device. Note that if your calendar app does not send notifications to your mobile device, you won’t
receive notifications on your tracker.
If you have an iOS device, your Alta HR shows notifications from all calendars synced to the default iOS
Calendar app. If you have a third-party calendar app that is not synced to your default app, you won’t see
notifications from that app.
If you have an Android device, your Alta HR shows calendar notifications from the calendar app you
choose during setup. You can choose from the default Calendar app on your mobile device or several
third-party calendar apps.
Enabling notifications
To turn on notifications, first make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and that your Alta
HR is nearby. Note that if you have an iOS device, call notifications are on by default.
After notifications are enabled, “Alta HR” appears in the list of Bluetooth devices paired to your mobile
device.
Fitbit app for iOS
To turn on text or calendar notifications:
1. Open the Fitbit app and tap the Alta HR tile.
2. Tap Notifications and turn on or off any combination of text, call, or calendar notifications.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to bond (connect) your mobile device with your tracker.
