Setting up your Fitbit Alta HR

To make the most of your Alta HR, 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, but keep in mind that a mobile device is required for call, text, and calendar

notifications.

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 devices 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 Alta HR 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.
