Set up FB417
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS and Android devices. Keep in mind that a
phone is required for call, text, calendar, smartphone app notifications and to view statistics
like GPS exercise routes and Sleep Stages.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your height, weight, and sex to calculate
your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. After you
set up your account, your first name, last initial, and photos are visible to all other Fitbit users.
You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide to
create an account is private by default.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged FB417 has a battery life up to 7 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with
use and other factors; actual results will vary. With occasional use of the built-in GPS, the
battery life is up to 4 days and in continuous built-in GPS use, battery life may be as low as 5
hours.
To charge FB417:
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. A battery icon appears on the
screen to confirm the charger is properly connected to the tracker.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the button to
check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.
