Syncing your tracker data to your Fitbit account
Once you've set up and started using Alta, you'll need to make sure it regularly
transfers (syncs) its data to Fitbit so you can track your progress, see your exercise
history, earn badges, analyze your sleep logs, and more on your Fitbit dashboard. A
daily sync is recommended but not required.
The Fitbit apps use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to sync with your Fitbit
tracker. Each time you open the app it syncs if the tracker is nearby, and it also syncs
periodically throughout the day if you have the all-day sync setting enabled.
Fitbit Connect on a Mac® also uses Bluetooth for syncing (if available), otherwise
you’ll need to make sure your wireless sync dongle is plugged into the computer.
Fitbit Connect on a PC requires that you plug in your wireless sync dongle. You can
force Fitbit Connect to sync at any time or it will happen automatically every 15
minutes if:
• The tracker is within 30 feet of your computer.
• The computer is powered on, awake, and connected to the Internet.
