Setting up your Fitbit Charge HR
You can set up your Fitbit Charge HR using your computer or the Fitbit apps for iOS,
Android, or Windows.
Setting up your tracker with the Fitbit app
Over 120 mobile devices and Windows 10 PCs and tablets that support Bluetooth 4.0
technology allow you to set up and wirelessly synchronize your Fitbit Charge HR. To
see if your mobile device is compatible with your Fitbit Charge HR, visit
www.fitbit.com/devices. If your device is listed, you can then download our app and
follow the installation process in the app. If your device is not listed, check back
frequently because we’re continually adding new devices.
Even if your mobile device is not compatible for syncing via Bluetooth 4.0, you can
still use a Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress—you’ll just need to set
up and sync your tracker using a Mac or PC.
Setting up your tracker using a Mac or PC and Fitbit
Connect
To set up your Fitbit Charge HR using your computer, you’ll first install Fitbit
Connect. Fitbit Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Fitbit
Charge HR to your fitbit.com dashboard, where you can view your data, log food,
and more.
