Receiving Call and Text Notifications
Over 120 compatible mobile devices let you receive incoming phone call and text
notifications on your Surge. To determine whether your device supports this feature,
go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices. When you receive a notification, your Surge
vibrates and caller information is shown in a banner across the top of the screen.
NOTE: Even if you have already paired your Surge with your mobile device to enable
music control, you must follow these instructions to enable call and text
notifications.
Enabling call and text notifications
To enable call and text notifications on your Surge, you connect (“pair”) your Surge
to the Fitbit app:
1. From the Surge menu, swipe to Settings and make sure Notifications is set to
On. (For more information, see “Managing settings on your Fitbit Surge” on
page 28.)
2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
3. Make sure your Surge is within 20 feet of your mobile device.
4. Open the Fitbit app on your mobile device and tap the Surge tile at the top of
the mobile dashboard.
5. Enable Notifications and follow the onscreen instructions.
When your Surge has been successfully paired for notifications, it appears as a
connected device named “Surge” in your list of Bluetooth devices.
