Setting up your Fitbit Surge
To set up your Surge, install the Fitbit Connect app on your computer.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can set up and sync your Surge using select mobile devices that support
Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible with your Surge, visit
http://www.fitbit.com/devices
.
If your mobile device is not compatible for syncing via Bluetooth 4.0, you can still use the
mobile Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress; you’ll just need to set up and sync
using a Mac or PC.
