Installing Fitbit Connect and pairing your Surge
1. Plug in the wireless sync dongle and have your tracker nearby, turned on, and
charged.
2. Go to the folder containing the file you downloaded and look for the
installation program:
- For Mac: Install Fitbit Connect.pkg
- For Windows: FitbitConnect_Win.exe
3. Double-click the file name to start the installation process.
4. Follow the brief onscreen instructions to finish setting up. You’re ready to get
moving.
Syncing
Now that Fitbit Connect is installed, your Surge will automatically and wirelessly
synchronize its data to your dashboard every 15-20 minutes under these conditions:
• Your Surge is within 15-20 feet of your computer and has new data to upload
(meaning if you haven’t moved, an automatic sync won’t occur).
• Your computer is powered on, awake, and connected to the Internet.
• The wireless sync dongle is inserted into a USB port and is recognized by the
computer.
To manually synchronize your Surge with your dashboard, click the Fitbit Connect
icon on your computer (located near the date and time) and click Sync Now.
