Viewing call and text notifications
Surge receives notifications when you are within about 20 feet of your mobile device.
When you receive a call or text, your Surge vibrates and a notification appears at the
top of the screen for 7 seconds. If the caller or sender is in the contacts list on your
mobile device, the name is shown. Otherwise, the phone number of the caller or
sender appears instead. The icon indicates whether you are receiving a call or a text.
After 7 seconds, the name or number disappears but an icon in the upper right
corner of the screen indicates that you have received a text or a call.
To view notifications press the Action button. If you have more than one notification,
swipe left and right to see them all. Surge stores a maximum of 20 notifications. If
you receive more than 20 notifications, the oldest notifications are deleted as new
ones come in.
If necessary, you can swipe down to scroll through the entire contents of a text. A
maximum of 32 characters of a subject and 160 characters of a text message are
shown.
Press the Action button or the Home button to exit the notifications screen.
To ensure that you receive notifications, confirm that:
• The Notifications setting on your Surge is set to On
• The Notifications setting in the Fitbit app is enabled
• “Surge” appears as a connected device in your list of Bluetooth devices
• Your Surge is within 20 feet of your mobile device
