6. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or “pair”, Ionic to

communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
When you’re done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new
watch and then explore the Fitbit dashboard.
Connect to Wi-Fi
During setup, you’re prompted to connect Ionic to your Wi-Fi network. Ionic uses Wi-
Fi to download playlists and apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster firmware
updates.
Ionic can connect to open, WEP, WPA personal, and WPA2 personal Wi-Fi networks.
Your watch won’t connect to 5GHz, WPA enterprise, or public Wi-Fi networks that
require logins, subscriptions, or profiles. If you see fields for a username or domain
when connecting to the Wi-Fi network on a computer, the network isn’t supported.
For best results, connect Ionic to your home or work Wi-Fi network. Make sure you
know the network password before connecting.
For more information about how to connect Ionic to Wi-Fi, see help.fitbit.com.
Sync data to your Fitbit account
Regularly sync Ionic with the Fitbit app to transfer data to your dashboard. The
dashboard is where you’ll track your progress, see your exercise history, track your
sleep patterns, participate in challenges, and much more. We recommend syncing at
least once a day.
The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync data with Ionic and to
update apps installed on your watch.
Each time you open the Fitbit app, Ionic syncs automatically when it’s nearby. Ionic
also syncs with the app every 15 minutes if All-Day Sync is on. To turn on this feature:
From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > Ionic
tile
>
All-
Day Sync
.
You can also use the
Sync Now
option in the app at any time.
