Notifications
FB417 can display call, text, calendar, and app notifications from your phone to keep you
informed. The phone and tracker must be within 30 feet of each other to receive notifications.
Set up notifications
Check that Bluetooth on your phone is on and that your phone can receive notifications (often
under Settings > Notifications). Then set up notifications:
1. With your tracker nearby, from the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the account icon
> FB417 tile.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your tracker. FB417 appears in the list of
Bluetooth devices connected to your phone. Call, text, and calendar notifications are
turned on automatically.
4. To turn on notifications from apps installed on your phone, including Fitbit and
WhatsApp, tap App Notifications and turn on the notifications you want to see.
Note that if you have an iPhone or iPad, FB417 shows notifications from all calendars synced to
the Calendar app. If you have an Android phone, FB417 shows calendar notifications from the
calendar app you choose during setup.

it.
