Getting Started Welcome to Fitbit Alta HR, the heart rate wristband that motivates you to reach your goals in style. Take a moment to review our complete safety information at https://www.fitbit.com/safety. What's in the box Your Fitbit Alta HR box includes: Tracker Charging cable The top and bottom detachable wristbands can be swapped for other colors and materials sold separately.
Next, we'll explain how to find and use the features that interest you and how to adjust your preferences. For more information, tips, and troubleshooting, browse our comprehensive help content at help.fitbit.com.
Set up Fitbit Alta HR For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS, Android, or Windows 10. If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet, you can also use a computer and fitbit.com instead, but keep in mind that a phone is required for call, text, and calendar notifications. Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and sex in order to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn.
Charging fully takes about one to two hours. While the tracker charges, you can tap it to check the battery level. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon. Set up with your phone or tablet The free Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 devices that support iOS, Android, and Windows 10 operating systems. To get started: 1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. If you're unsure if the Fitbit app is compatible with your phone or tablet, see fitbit.
3. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a series of questions that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your existing account. 4. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or "pair," Alta HR to your phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the tracker and phone or tablet can communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
Set up with your Mac If you don’t have a compatible phone or tablet, you can set up your tracker with a Bluetooth-enabled Mac and use the fitbit.com dashboard to see your stats. 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. 2. 3. 4. Go to fitbit.com/setup. Scroll down and click the option to download for Mac.
From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( > All-Day Sync. ) > Alta HR tile You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time. Fitbit Connect on your Mac syncs every 15 minutes if the tracker is within 30 feet of the computer. To force a sync, click the Fitbit Connect icon located near the date and time on your computer and choose Sync Now. Wear Alta HR Place Alta HR around your wrist.
l l l Make sure the tracker is in contact with your skin. Don't wear your tracker too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal. However, the tracker should be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise than during all-day wear. With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may limit the sensor's ability to provide a heart-rate reading.
Remove a wristband To remove the wristband: 1. Turn Alta HR over and find the band latches—there’s one on each end where the band meets the frame. 2. To release the latch, press down on the flat metal button on the strap. 3. Slide the band up to release it from the tracker. 4. Repeat on the other side.
If you’re having trouble removing the band or if it feels stuck, gently move the band back and forth to release it. Attach a new wristband Before you attach a new wristband, first identify the top and bottom bands. The top band has a buckle on it and should be attached on the side closest to the charging port. The bottom band has notches in it. To attach a band, slide it down on the end of the tracker until you feel it snap into place.
Basics Learn how best to navigate, check the battery level, and care for your tracker. Navigate Alta HR Alta HR has an OLED tap display that can be oriented horizontally or vertically. You can choose from several clock faces, each with a unique design. Single-tap the display to flip through your stats. When you’re not using Alta HR the display is dimmed. To wake it up: l l Double-tap your tracker. Turn your wrist towards you. This behavior, known as Quick View, can be turned off in your tracker settings.
Check battery level Your fully charged Alta HR has a battery life of up to 7 days. Note that battery life and charge cycles vary with use, settings, and many other factors. Actual results will vary. If your battery is low, when you wake up your Alta HR you’ll see low battery icon after a few seconds. If you see a critical battery icon you’ll be unable to flip through your stats until you charge your tracker. Your tracker continues to track your activity until your battery runs out.
Care for Alta HR It's important to clean and dry your Alta HR regularly. For instructions and more information, see fitbit.com/productcare.
Activity and Sleep Alta HR continuously tracks a variety of stats whenever you wear it. The information is transferred to your dashboard every time you sync your tracker.
Resting heart rate (optional screen) Distance Calories Active minutes Check your heart rate Alta HR allows you to view your real-time heart rate and your resting heart rate on your tracker. To view your heart rate, tap your tracker until you get to the heart rate screen where you’ll see your current heart rate. Tap again until you get to the resting heart rate screen to see your resting heart rate. You must turn on the resting heart rate screen in the Fitbit app.
Icon Zone Calculation maximum heart rate Fat Burn Between 50% and 69% of your maximum heart rate Description This is a low-to-medium intensity exercise zone. This zone may be a good place to start for those new to exercise. It's called the Fat Burn zone because a higher percentage of calories are burned from fat, but the total calorie burn rate is lower. Cardio Between 70% and 84% of your maximum heart rate This is a medium-to-high intensity exercise zone.
Track a daily activity goal Alta HR tracks your progress towards a daily activity goal of your choice. When you reach your goal, the tracker vibrates and shows a celebration. Choose a goal By default your goal is 10,000 steps per day. You can change the goal to distance traveled, calories burned, or active minutes and select the corresponding value you prefer. For example, you may want to keep steps as your goal but change the target from 10,000 to 20,000 steps.
Track your hourly activity Alta HR helps you stay active throughout the day by keeping track of when you're stationary and reminding you to move. If you haven't walked at least 250 steps in a given hour, at 10 minutes before the hour you'll feel a vibration reminding you to walk. When you meet the 250-step goal after receiving the reminder, you'll feel a second vibration and see a congratulatory message.
Track your sleep Wear Alta HR to bed to automatically track your time asleep and sleep stages. To see your sleep stats, sync your tracker when you wake up and check your dashboard. For more information about sleep tracking, see help.fitbit.com. Set a sleep goal By default, you have a sleep goal of 8 hours of sleep per night. Customize this goal to meet your needs. For more information about your sleep goal, including how to change it, see help.fitbit.com.
Set a silent alarm Alta HR can gently vibrate to wake or alert you with a silent alarm. You can set up to eight alarms to recur every day or on particular days of the week only. When the alarm goes off, simply double tap to dismiss. For more information about customizing and using silent alarms, see help.fitbit.com.
Notifications Over 200 different iOS, Android, and Windows phones can send call, text, and calendar notifications to your tracker. Keep in mind the phone and tracker must be within 30 feet of each other to receive notifications. To check whether your phone is compatible with this feature, go to https://www.fitbit.com/devices. Set up notifications Check that Bluetooth on your phone is on and that your phone can receive notifications (often under Settings > Notifications).
If you have an iOS or Windows 10 phone, your Alta HR shows notifications from all calendars synced to the default 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 phone or several third-party calendar apps.
The character limit for notifications is 40. Note that all notifications are shown horizontally, even if your clock orientation is normally vertical.
Customization This section explains how to adjust the tracker's display and modify certain behaviors. Change the clock face and orientation Alta HR has several clock faces available in horizontal and vertical styles. Change the clock face using the Fitbit app. For more information, see help.fitbit.com. Use Quick View To preserve battery, your tracker's screen turns off when not in use.
Updates We occasionally make free feature enhancements and product improvements available through firmware updates. We recommend keeping your Alta HR up to date. When a firmware update is available you’ll see a notification in the Fitbit app prompting you to update. When the update starts, a progress bar appears on the tracker and in the Fitbit app until the update is complete. Keep your tracker and phone close to each other during the update process.
Troubleshooting If your tracker is not working properly, review our troubleshooting guidance below. Visit help.fitbit.com for more information. Heart-rate signal missing Alta HR continuously tracks your heart rate while you're exercising and throughout the day. Occasionally, the heart-rate sensor on your tracker may have difficulty finding a good signal. When this happens, you'll see dashed lines where your current heart rate usually appears.
To restart your tracker: 1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger. 2. Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of the tracker. The pins on the charging cable must lock securely with the port. You’ll know the connection is secure when the tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon on your tracker’s display. The battery icon disappears after three seconds. 3.
After your tracker restarts you can unplug it from the charging cable and put it back on. For additional troubleshooting or to contact Customer Support, see help.fitbit.com.
