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. Go to fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the option to download for Mac.
3. If prompted, save the file that appears.
4. Find and double-click the file to open the installer program (Install Fitbit
Connect.pkg).
5. Click Continue to move through the installer
6. When prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Fitbit account, or log in to your
existing account.
When you're done with the setup, Fitbit guides you through an introduction to Alta
HR and takes you to the fitbit.com dashboard.
Sync data to your Fitbit account
Regularly sync Alta HR to transfer data to your dashboard. The dashboard is where
you'll track your progress, see exercise history, track your sleep patterns, log food
and water, identify trends, participate in challenges, and much more. We
recommend syncing at least once a day.
The Fitbit app and Fitbit Connect use Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync
data with Alta HR.
Each time you open the Fitbit app, Alta HR syncs automatically when it's nearby.
Alta HR also syncs with the app periodically if All-Day Sync is on. To turn on this
