Getting to know your Fitbit Alta
This section tells you how best to wear, navigate, and recharge your tracker. If you
bought an accessory wristband, you’ll also find instructions for taking off the original
band and putting on a different one.
Wrist placement
Review these tips to make sure you’re wearing your tracker correctly.
Wrist choice and dominant hand
For greater accuracy and ease of use, Alta needs to know which wrist you wear it on
(right or left) and which hand you consider dominant (right or left). Your dominant
hand is the one you usually write or throw with.
During setup you’re asked to choose the wrist where you're going to wear Alta.
Should you later decide to move Alta to the other wrist, change the Wrist setting.
You can also change your dominant hand at any time with the Handedness setting.
Both settings are found in the Account section of the Fitbit app.
Putting on your tracker
1. Place your Alta around your wrist. The top of the tracker is the side with the
charging port. The top of the tracker should be on the outside or top of your
wrist.
