Getting to know your Fitbit Zip
This section tells you how best to wear and recharge your tracker.
Placement
Zip is most accurate when worn on or very close to the body. Ideal places to wear
your Zip include a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few
different locations to see what is most comfortable and secure for you.
A clip designed to keep your tracker clipped to your clothing is provided with your
Zip package.
The Zip is not designed to be worn in direct contact with the skin. Always use the
silicone holder when clipping it to a bra or waistband, with the display facing
outward. Do not wear the Zip inside your bra.
Some users may experience skin irritation even when wearing the Zip as instructed
on the bra or waistband. If this occurs we recommend clipping it on your pocket,
belt, or other external piece of clothing.
The Zip is sweat, rain, and splash resistant, but not waterproof. It is not intended to
be worn swimming.
Battery life
With normal use, your Zip’s battery should last up to 6 months.
A battery icon will appear on your Zip display when the battery has drained to 25%.
A flashing battery icon indicates that your Zip is very close to being drained. Data
could be lost if your Zip is not synced before replacing the battery.
If your Zip battery drains, purchase a new 3V coin battery, CR2025. Use the provided
battery door tool to unlock the battery door compartment, located on the back of
the Zip.
