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 Alta HR. You can set

up and sync wirelessly if your computer has Bluetooth®, otherwise you’ll need to use the wireless sync

dongle that came in the box with your Alta HR.

Setting up your tracker on your PC (Windows 8.1 and below)

If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can set up your tracker with a computer and see your

Fitbit stats on fitbit.com. To use this method you’ll first install a free software application called Fitbit

Connect that lets Alta HR sync its data with your fitbit.com dashboard.

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.

3. When prompted, save the file that appears.

4. Double-click the file (FitbitConnect_Win.exe). The Fitbit Connect installer opens.

5. Click Continue to move through the installer.

6. When prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect your Alta HR.

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.
