Setting up your Fitbit Surge
You can set up your Surge using the Fitbit app for iOS, the Fitbit app for Android, or
your computer.
Setting up on your mobile device
Over 120 mobile devices that support Bluetooth 4.0 technology allow you to set up
and wirelessly sync your Surge. To see if your mobile device is compatible for
syncing with your Surge, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If your device is listed, you
can then download our free mobile app and follow the setup process in the app. If
your device is not listed, check back frequently because we’re continually adding
new devices.
NOTE: If your mobile device is not compatible to sync via Bluetooth 4.0, you can still
use the Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress; however, you’ll
need to set up and sync using a Mac or PC.
Setting up on your Mac or PC
To set up your Surge using your computer, you’ll first install Fitbit Connect. Fitbit
Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Surge to your
Fitbit.com dashboard, where you can view your data, log food, and more.
