What’s in this document

We get you started quickly by creating a Fitbit® account and making sure the tracker can synchronize the data it collects with your Fitbit dashboard. The dashboard is where you can analyze your data, see historical trends, set goals, log food and water, keep up with friends, and much more. As soon as you’re done setting up your tracker, you’re ready to start moving.

Next, we explain how to find and use the features that interest you and adjust your preferences. To find more information, tips, and troubleshooting, please browse our comprehensive articles at http://help.fitbit.com.

Setting up your Fitbit One

To make the most of your One, use the free Fitbit app available for iOS®, AndroidTM, and Windows® 10 mobile devices. If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can use a computer and Fitbit.com instead.

Setting up your tracker on your mobile device

The Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 mobile devices that support iOS, Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
To get started:

1. Make sure the Fitbit app is compatible with your mobile device by checking http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
2. Find the Fitbit app in one of these locations, depending on your device:
   • The Apple® App Store® for iOS devices such as an iPhone® or iPad®.
   • The Google PlayTM Store for Android devices such as the Samsung® Galaxy® S5 and Motorola Droid Turbo.
   • The Microsoft® Windows Store for Windows 10 mobile such as the LumiaTM phone or SurfaceTM tablet.
3. Install the app. Note that you’ll need an account with the applicable store before you can download even a free app such as Fitbit.
4. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to get started. You’ll be guided through the process of creating a Fitbit account and connecting (pairing) your One to your mobile device. Pairing makes sure the tracker and mobile device can communicate with one another (sync their data).

Note that the personal information you’re asked during setup is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your estimated calorie expenditure. This information is private unless you go into your Privacy settings and opt to share age, height, or weight with Fitbit friends.

Setting up your tracker on your Mac

If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can set up your tracker with a computer and see your Fitbit stats on fitbit.com. To use this setup method you’ll first install a free software application called Fitbit Connect that lets One sync its data with your fitbit.com dashboard.

To install Fitbit Connect and set up your tracker:

1. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the option to download.
3. When prompted, save the file that appears.
4. Double-click the file (Install Fitbit Connect. pkg). The Fitbit Connect installer opens.
5. Click Continue to move through the installer.
6. When prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect your One.

Note that the personal information you’re asked during setup is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your estimated calorie expenditure. This information is private unless you go into your Privacy settings and opt to share age, height, or weight with Fitbit friends.

Getting to know your Fitbit One

This section tells you how best to wear and recharge your tracker.

Placement

The One is most accurate when worn on or very close to your torso. A clip designed to keep the tracker secured to your clothing is included in your package. A sleep wristband for your One is also included in your package. To avoid losing your tracker, we recommend that you wear it in your pocket, clipped to your pocket, or clipped to your bra.

The One 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 One inside your bra. Some users may experience skin irritation even when wearing the One as instructed on the bra or waistband. If this occurs we recommend clipping it on your pocket, belt, or other external piece of clothing.

Changing the display for left-handed use

By default your tracker is oriented for right-handed individuals. If you’re left-handed, you can reorient the display to make it easier to read. To do so, log into your fitbit.com dashboard and click the gear icon in the upper right. Click Settings > Devices and then find and adjust the Left-handed button.

Battery life and charging

The One is powered by a rechargeable built-in battery. Your fully charged One has a battery life of up to two weeks.

Determining your current battery level

You can check your battery level in a couple of places:

• While charging your One, press the button on your tracker to view the battery indicator on the screen.
• On your fitbit.com dashboard.

Tracking with Fitbit One

Your One tracks a variety of stats automatically whenever you’re wearing it. Your tracker’s latest data is uploaded to your Fitbit dashboard whenever you sync.

Viewing all-day stats

Press the button on your One to see the time of day and cycle through these all-day stats:

• Steps taken
• Floors climbed
• Recent activity levels (represented by an expanding flower)
• Distance traveled
• Calories burned

Note that your One resets at midnight according to the time zone you’ve selected for your account. The reset ensures that One can track your daily totals correctly, and does not delete the previous day’s data. All your data will appear on your dashboard when you sync your tracker.

Using the display

When you first set up your One and press the button to scroll through your stats, you see the stat category (e.g. STEPS) followed by the stat and its icon. After you’ve cycled through each screen 5 times and can recognize the stat icon, the stat category no longer appears so that you can scroll more quickly.

Any time your tracker is reset, it will enter “beginner mode” and show the stat category again for the first 5 cycles. This will happen if you shut down and then restart your tracker, upgrade your tracker, or charge your tracker after the battery drained completely.

Tracking sleep

You can use your One to track how long and how well you sleep. The One will track your movement throughout the night to provide you with information about the quality of your sleep.

1. Place your tracker into the slot in your wristband and wrap it around your non-dominant wrist.
2. Once you are in bed and ready to fall asleep, press and hold the tracker’s button for 2+ seconds. You will see a blinking stopwatch and clock. The other icons will also blink, indicating that your tracker is in sleep mode.
3. When you wake up, press and hold the button for 2+ seconds to stop the sleep recording. The icons will stop blinking to indicate you’ve exited sleep mode. Once you exit sleep mode, your tracker will resume, displaying your daily totals.

Once the data syncs, graphs on your dashboard will reveal how long you slept and the number of times you woke up. You can also use your dashboard to set a goal for hours slept.

Using the fitbit.com dashboard

Fitbit provides a free online tool — the fitbit.com dashboard — to help you track, manage, and evaluate your fitness progress. Use the dashboard to see your daily totals, analyze details about specific activities, view historical graphs, and log food.

Updating your Fitbit One

Free feature enhancements and product improvements are occasionally made available through firmware updates. We recommend keeping your One up to date. You’ll be notified in the Fitbit app when an update is available. After you start the update, you’ll see a progress bar on your tracker and in the Fitbit app until the process is complete, followed by a confirmation message.
