Safety Statement 57

Get started
Fitbit Inspire HR is a friendly heart-rate and fitness tracker for every day that helps
you build healthy habits. Take a moment to review our complete safety information
at fitbit.com/safety. Inspire HR is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.
What's in the box
Your Inspire HR box includes:
Tracker with small wristband (color
and material vary) Charging cable Additional large wristband (color and material vary)
The detachable wristbands on Inspire HR come in a variety of colors and materials,
sold separately.
6

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 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 photos
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 up to 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 or a UL-certified
USB wall charger.
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
button to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon
with a smile.
Set up with your phone or tablet
The free Fitbit app is compatible with most iPhones and iPads, Android phones,
and Windows 10 devices. If you're unsure if the Fitbit app is compatible with your
device, see fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device.
lApple App Store for iPhones and iPads
lGoogle Play Store for Android phones
lMicrosoft Store for Windows 10 devices
2. Install the app, and open it.
lIf you already have a Fitbit account, login to your account, and tap the
account icon >Set Up a Device.
lIf you don't have a Fitbit account, tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a
series of questions to create a Fitbit account.
3. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connect Inspire HR to your
account.
8

When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your
new tracker and then explore the Fitbit app.
Set up with your Windows 10 PC
If you don't have a compatible phone, you can set up and sync Inspire HR with a
Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC and the Fitbit app.
To get the Fitbit app for your computer:
1. Click the Start button on your PC and open the Microsoft Store.
2. Search for "Fitbit app". After you find it, click Free to download the app to
your computer.
3. Click Microsoft account to sign in with your existing Microsoft account. If you
don't already have an account with Microsoft, follow the on-screen instructions
to create a new account.
4. Open the app.
lIf you already have a Fitbit account, login to your account, and tap the
account icon >Set Up a Device.
lIf you don't have a Fitbit account, tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a
series of questions to create a Fitbit account.
5. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connectInspire HR to your
account.
When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your
new tracker and then explore the Fitbit app.
See your data in the Fitbit app
Sync Inspire HR to transfer your data to the Fitbit app, where you can view your
activity and sleep data, log food and water, participate in challenges, and more. For
best results, keep all-day sync turned on, so that Inspire HR syncs periodically with
the app.
9

If you turn off all-day sync, we recommend syncing at least once a day. Each time
you open the Fitbit app, Inspire HR syncs automatically when it's nearby. You can
also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.
10

Wear Inspire HR
PlaceInspire HR around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband,
or if you purchased an accessory wristband, see the instructions in "Change the
wristband" 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.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
lTry wearing Inspire HR higher on your wrist during exercise for an improved
fit and more accurate heart-rate reading. Many exercises, such as bike riding
or weight lifting, cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which can interfere
with the heart-rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.
11

lMake sure the tracker is in contact with your skin.
lDon't wear your tracker too tight; a tight wristband restricts blood flow,
potentially affecting the heart-rate signal. The tracker should be slightly
tighter (snug but not constricting)during exercise.
lWith high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is
moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may limit the
sensor's ability to provide a heart-rate reading. If your tracker doesn't show a
heart-rate reading, try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly.
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.
12

Change the wristband
Inspire HR comes with a small wristband attached and an additional large, bottom
wristband in the box. Boththe top and bottom wristbands can be swapped with
accessory wristbands, sold separately. For wristband measurements, see
"Wristband size" on page43.
Remove a wristband
To remove the wristband:
1. Turn over Inspire HR and find the quick-release lever.
2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the wristband away
from the tracker to release it.
3. Repeat on the other side.
Attach a wristband
To attach a wristband:
1. Attach the wristband with the clasp to the top of the tracker. Slide the pin
(the side opposite the quick-release lever)into the notch on the tracker.
13

2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the
wristband into place.
3. When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.
