Controlling Music
With a compatible iOS device you can use Surge to pause and resume music and
skip to the following track. To determine whether your device supports this feature,
go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices. The Surge uses the AVRCP Bluetooth profile to
control music; therefore, the app providing your music must be compatible with
AVRCP. Some streaming music apps, such as Songza, do not broadcast track
information and therefore the track title won't appear on your Surge display.
However, if an app supports AVRCP you can still pause or skip a track, just not see its
title on your Surge.
NOTE: Even if you have already paired your Surge with your mobile device to enable
notifications or all-day syncing, you must follow these instructions to enable
music control.
Enabling music control
To control music from your Surge, you use the Bluetooth feature on your phone to
connect (“pair”) your Surge with your mobile device. Pairing your Surge requires that
perform steps on both your Surge and your mobile device in quick succession. Have
them both close at hand before continuing.
To enable music control:
1. If you have not already done so, confirm that your device is compatible for
music control at http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
2. On your Surge:
a. Display the Menu, then swipe to Settings.
b. Scroll to Bluetooth Classic.
c. If the setting is Off or On, press the Select button until the setting is
Pair.
3. On your mobile device:
a. Navigate to the Bluetooth Settings screen where paired devices are
listed.
b. Make sure your mobile device is discoverable and is scanning for
devices.
c. When “Surge (Classic)” is shown as an available device, select it.
d. Wait for a message displaying a six-digit number.
4. Perform the following two steps in close succession.
a. When the same six-digit number appears on your Surge, press the
Action button.
b. On your mobile device, select Pair.
After successfully pairing your device, the Bluetooth Classic setting on your Surge
should automatically be reset to On.
