Fitbit FB412 & FB413
Charging cable
The Fitbit FB412 & FB413 has two parts: the removable wristband and the display.
What's in this manual
We'll explain how to create a Fitbit® account and make sure your tracker can transfer
the data it collects to your dashboard. The dashboard is where you'll set goals, analyze
historical data, identify trends, log food and water, keep up with friends, and much
more. As soon as you're done setting up FB412 & FB413, you're ready to start moving.
Next, we'll explain how to find and use the features that interest you and how to adjust
your preferences. For more information, tips, and troubleshooting, browse our
comprehensive help content at help.fitbit.com.

Set up Fitbit FB412 & FB413
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS, Android, or Windows 10. If you
don’t have a smartphone or tablet, you can also use a computer and fitbit.com instead,
but keep in mind that a phone is required for call, text, and calendar notifications.
Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and gender in order to
calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie
burn. When you set up your account, your name and photos are visible to all other
Fitbit users. You have the option to share other information, but most of the
information you provide is private by default.
Charge FB412 & FB413
To charge FB412 & FB413:
1. Plug the included charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-
certified USB wall charger. Our chargers are designed to meet safety standards
across the world. Third-party chargers may not be designed properly and could
result in safety issues.
2. Clip the other end of the charger into the port on the back of the FB412 & FB413.
The pins of the charging cable must be lined up with the charging port on FB412
& FB413 and securely locked into place. You'll know the connection is secure
when the tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon on the screen.
Insert Charge Photos Here
Charging fully takes up to 2 hours. While the tracker charges, tap it to check the
battery level. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon. If you haven't set up
FB412 & FB413 yet, you'll see a message instructing you to set up your tracker.
Set up with your phone or tablet
The free Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 devices that support iOS,
Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
To get started:

7
1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. If
you're unsure if the Fitbit app is compatible with your phone or tablet, see
http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
• Apple App Store for iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad.
• Google Play Store for Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and
Motorola Droid Turbo 2.

series of questions that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your
existing account.
4. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or "pair," FB412 &
FB413 to your phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the tracker and phone or
tablet can communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
When you're done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new
tracker and then explore the Fitbit dashboard.

When you're done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new
tracker and then explore the Fitbit dashboard.
Set up with your PC (Windows 8.1 and below)
If you don't have a compatible phone or tablet, you can set up your tracker with a
computer and see your stats at fitbit.com. To use this setup method, you'll first install
a free software application called Fitbit Connect that lets FB412 & FB413 sync its data
with your fitbit.com dashboard. In order to set up and sync your FB412 & FB413, you'll
need to use the wireless sync dongle that came in the box with your FB412 & FB413.
To install Fitbit Connect and set up your tracker:
1. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the option to download for Windows.

FB413 to your computer. Pairing makes sure the tracker and computer can
communicate with one another (sync data back and forth).
When you're done with the setup, Fitbit guides you through an introduction to FB412 &
FB413 and takes you to the fitbit.com dashboard.

FB413 and takes you to the fitbit.com dashboard.
Sync data to your Fitbit account
Regularly sync FB412 & FB413 with the Fitbit app to transfer data to your dashboard.
The dashboard is where you'll track your progress, see exercise history, track your
sleep patterns, log food and water, identify trends, participate in challenges, and much
more. We recommend syncing at least once a day.
The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync data with FB412 & FB413.
Each time you open the Fitbit app, FB412 & FB413 syncs automatically when it's
nearby. FB412 & FB413 also syncs with the app periodically if All-Day Sync is on. To
turn on this feature:
From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > FB412 & FB413
tile > All-Day Sync.
You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.
Fitbit Connect on a Mac also uses Bluetooth for syncing (if available), otherwise you'll
need to make sure your wireless sync dongle is plugged into the computer. Fitbit
Connect on a PC requires that you plug in your wireless sync dongle. You can force
Fitbit Connect to sync at any time or it will happen periodically throughout the day if:
• The tracker is within 30 feet of your computer.
• The computer is powered on, awake, and connected to the internet.
Wear FB412 & FB413
Place your FB412 & FB413 around your wrist. The top of the tracker is the side with the
charging port. The top of the tracker should be on the outside or top of your wrist.

Align both ends of the wristband so they are directly overlapping each other with the
clasp over the two holes that best fit your wrist.
Insert Photo Here
Squeeze both the clasp and the wristband between your thumb and forefinger until
you feel it snap into place.
Insert Photo Here
You’ll know your FB412 & FB413 wristband is securely fastened if both pegs on the
clasp are fully inserted. Do not wear your FB412 & FB413 too tightly.
Insert Photo Here
If you’re having trouble, try securing the wristband off your wrist to get a feel for how
it securely clasps and then try again on your wrist.
Wrist choice and dominant hand
For greater accuracy and ease of use, FB412 & FB413 needs to know which wrist you
wear it on (right or left) and which hand you consider dominant (right or left). Your
dominant hand is the one you usually write or throw with.
During setup you're asked to choose the wrist where you're going to wear FB412 &
FB413. Should you later decide to move FB412 & FB413 to the other wrist, change the
Wrist setting. You can also change your dominant hand at any time with the
Handedness setting. Both settings are found in the Account section of the Fitbit app.
Change the wristband
The wristband has two separate bands (top and bottom) that you can swap with
accessory bands sold separately.
Removing a wristband
To remove the wristband:
1. Turn FB412 & FB413 over and find the band latches—there’s one on each end
where the band meets the frame.

2. To release the latch, press down on the flat metal button on the strap.
3. Insert Photo Here
3. Slide the band up to release it from the tracker.
4. Insert Photo Here

If you’re having trouble removing the band or if it feels stuck, gently move the band
back and forth to release it.
Attaching a new wristband
Before you attach a new wristband, first identify the top and bottom bands. The top
band has a clasp on it and should be attached on the side closest to the charging port.
The bottom band has notches in it.
To attach a band, slide it down on the end of the tracker until you feel it snap into
place.

receiving the reminder, you'll feel a second vibration and see a congratulatory
message.

Notifications
Over 200 different iOS, Android, and Windows phones can send call, text, and calendar
notifications to your tracker. Keep in mind the phone and tracker must be within 30
feet of each other to receive notifications. To check whether your phone is compatible
with this feature, go to https://www.fitbit.com/devices.
Set up notifications
Check that Bluetooth on your phone is on and that your phone can receive notifications
(often under Settings > Notifications). Then follow the steps below to set up
notifications:
1. With your tracker nearby, from the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon (
) > FB412 & FB413 tile.
2. Tap Notifications. When you're prompted to pair FB412 & FB413, follow the on-
screen instructions. After you've paired your tracker, "FB412 & FB413" will appear
in the list of Bluetooth devices connected to your phone. Call, text, and calendar
notifications are turned on automatically.
3. Tap Notifications > FB412 & FB413 in the top left corner to return to device
settings. Your tracker syncs to complete the setup.

app to your phone. Note that if your calendar app does not send notifications to your
phone, you won’t receive notifications on your tracker.
Insert Photo Here
If you have an iOS or Windows 10 phone, your FB412 & FB413 shows notifications from
all calendars synced to the default Calendar app. If you have a third-party calendar app
that is not synced to your default app, you won’t see notifications from that app.
If you have an Android device, your FB412 & FB413 shows calendar notifications from
the calendar app you choose during setup. You can choose from the default Calendar
app on your phone or several third-party calendar apps.

19
See incoming notifications
If your tracker and phone are within 30 feet of each other, a call, text message, or
calendar event causes the tracker to vibrate and the notification to appear on FB412 &
FB413’s display. If the display is off, turn your wrist towards you or double-tap to wake
it up. The notification is only visible for one minute.
For phone calls, the notification scrolls three times with the name or number of the
caller.
Insert Photo Here
For text messages and calendar events, the notification scrolls once.
Insert Photo Here
For calendar events, the event time scrolls, followed by the name of the event.
Insert Photo Here
The character limit for notifications is 40. Note that all notifications are shown
horizontally, even if your clock orientation is normally vertical.

Customization
This section explains how to adjust the tracker's display and modify certain behaviors.
Change the clock face and orientation
FB412 & FB413 has several clock faces available in horizontal and vertical styles.
Change the clock face using the Fitbit app. For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
Use Quick View
To preserve battery, your tracker's screen turns off when not in use. It wakes up
automatically when you turn your wrist towards you (known as Quick View), or you can
wake it up by double tapping your tracker.
For more information about turning Quick View on or off, see help.fitbit.com.
Note that Quick View works best when wearing the tracker properly as described in
"Wear FB412 & FB413" on page 9.
