Set up Inspire HR
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android
phones. You can also set up Inspire HR on Windows 10 devices. If you don’t have a
compatible phone or tablet, use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Keep in mind
that a phone is required for call, text, calendar, and smartphone app notifications.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your birthdate, height, weight,
and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic
rate, and calorie burn. After you set up your account, your first name, last initial, and
profile picture are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other
information, but most of the information you provide to create an account is private
by default.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged Inspire HR has a battery life of 5 days. Battery life and charge cycles
vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.
To charge Inspire HR:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the
tracker until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable
align with the port on the back of your tracker.
7

Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the
buttons to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery
icon with a smile.
Set up with your phone or tablet

popular phones and tablets. See fitbit.com/devices to check if your phone or tablet
is compatible.

Wear Inspire HR
WearInspire HR around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band, or if
you purchased another band, see the instructions in "Change the band" on page13.
Note that the clip accessory isn't designed to fit Inspire HR.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you're not exercising, wear Inspire HR a finger's width above your wrist
bone.
In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by
removing your tracker for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend
removing your tracker while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing
your tracker, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos,
and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your tracker and may cause
skin irritation.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
lDuring a workout, experiment with wearing your tracker a bit higher on your
wrist for an improved fit. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting,
cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which could interfere with the heart-
rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.
11

lWear your tracker on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device
is in contact with your skin.
lConsider tightening your band before a workout and loosening it when you’re
done. The band should be snug but not constricting (a tight band restricts
blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal).
Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Inspire HR on your
dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing
and eating. To start, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Inspire HR
on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture >Inspire HR tile
>Wrist >Dominant.
Wear and care tips
lClean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
lIf your tracker gets wet, remove and dry it completely after your activity.
lTake your tracker off from time to time.
lIf you notice skin irritation, remove your tracker and contact customer
support. For more information, see fitbit.com/productcare.

the tracker to release it.

release lever) into the notch on the tracker.
