•Lepton tracker
•Charging cable
•Wireless sync dongle
•1 small and 1 large wristband
Lepton tracker
Charging cable
Wireless sync
dongle
Wristbands
Putting on your Lepton
Your Lepton comes with a large and a small wristband. If you want to use the small
wristband, complete the next task before continuing. If you want to use the large
wristband, skip the next task and go directly to “Inserting the tracker into the
wristband” on page 2.
Moving the clasp from the large to small wristband
If you choose the small wristband, you’ll need to remove the clasp from the large
wristband and put it into the small wristband. To do so:
1. Push the clasp out with one thumb from the inside of the wristband.
2. Pull out the clasp.

2
3. Insert the clasp into the small wristband by pressing a few times with both
thumbs to ensure that the clasp is flat and in line with the wristband.
NOTE: If there is a bulge on the inside of the band between the two inside prongs of
the clasp, find a small object like a credit card to push it flat.
Inserting the tracker into the wristband
Hold the tracker in your hand with the grey arrow facing up. Insert this end into the
wristband, with the arrow pointing toward the holes in the wristband.

3
Securing your wristband
1. Put on the wristband so the window of lights are closest to the outside of your
wrist and facing you.
2. 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.
3. Squeeze both the clasp and the wristband between your thumb and forefinger
until you hear a click.

4
You’ll know your Lepton wristband is securely fastened if both ends of the wristband
are fully inserted.
NOTE: 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.

5
Care and wearing tips
Keep the following tips in mind when caring for your Lepton:
•Clean and dry the Lepton regularly, particularly under the band.
•Wear your Lepton band loosely enough to allow air circulation.
•Use skin care products sparingly on the areas of the wrist covered by the
Lepton.
•If you notice any signs of skin irritation or experience any discomfort, please
discontinue use.

6
Setting up your Lepton
You can set up your Lepton using a computer or one of our mobile apps for iOS,
Android, and Windows Phone.
Setting up your Lepton with a computer
To set up your Lepton using your computer, you’ll first install Fitbit Connect. Fitbit
Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Lepton to your
Fitbit.com dashboard, where you can view your data, log food, and more.

Downloading Fitbit Connect
1. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
2. Scroll down and click the pink Download button. If the button does not correctly
show your type of computer (for example, if it says “Download for Mac” when
you’re on a PC), choose the correct type before clicking the button.
3. You’ll be prompted to open or save the installation file. Choose to save the file.
Installing Fitbit Connect and pairing your Lepton
1. Plug your wireless sync dongle into your computer’s USB port and have your
charged tracker nearby.
2. Find the file you just downloaded. If you don’t see it in your Downloads list,
search for it using the file name:
-For Mac: Install Fitbit Connect.pkg
-For Windows: FitbitConnect_Win.exe
3. Once you find the file, double-click it to begin installing Fitbit Connect.
4. Follow the brief onscreen instructions to finish setting up. You’re ready to get
moving.

7
Syncing your Lepton
Now that Fitbit Connect is installed, your Lepton will automatically and wirelessly sync
with your computer every 20 minutes or so if the following requirements are met:
•Your Lepton is within 15-20 feet of your computer and has new data to upload
(meaning if you haven’t moved, an automatic sync won’t occur).
•Your computer is powered on, awake, and connected to the Internet.
•The wireless sync dongle is inserted into a USB port and is recognized by the
computer.
When Lepton syncs, your data is uploaded to your Fitbit.com dashboard. Lepton holds
detailed minute-by-minute information for the most recent 7 days and daily activity
summaries for 30 days. For the most accurate dashboard possible, sync your Lepton
regularly.
To manually synchronize your Lepton with your dashboard, click the Fitbit Connect
icon located near the date and time on your computer and click Sync Now.
Setting up your Lepton with a mobile device
You can set up and wirelessly sync your Lepton using over 120 mobile devices that
support Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible for
syncing with your Lepton, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If your device is listed, you can
then download our free iOS, Android, or Windows Phone apps. Once downloaded, open
the app and follow the setup instructions provided.
NOTE: If your mobile device is not compatible to sync via Bluetooth 4.0, you can still
use the Fitbit app to view your data and track your progress, you’ll just need to
set up and sync using a Mac or PC.

8
Using your Lepton
Your Lepton is designed to be most accurate when worn on your wrist.
Wearing on your dominant vs. non-dominant wrist
To get the most accurate reading from your Lepton, make sure your account knows if
you’re wearing the wristband on your dominant or non-dominant wrist. Your dominant
wrist refers to handedness, that is, the hand that you use for activities such as writing
and throwing a ball.
To configure this setting:
1. Log in to Fitbit.com and click the gear icon in the top-right corner.
2. Click Settings > Devices.
3. Under Dominant Hand choose the correct setting.
4. Sync your tracker to save the change:
a. Click the Fitbit Connect icon near the date and time on your computer.
b. Click Sync Now.
Using your Lepton in wet conditions
Your Lepton is water-resistant, which means it is rain-proof and splash-proof and can
stand up to even the sweatiest workout.
Do not swim with your Lepton. We also don't recommend showering with your Lepton;
though the water won't hurt the device, wearing it 24/7 does not give your skin a
chance to breathe. Whenever you get your Lepton wet, dry it thoroughly before putting
it back on.
Understanding the LED indicator lights
Your Lepton features a display that consists of 5 LED indicator lights. The lights behave
differently depending on what the tracker is doing.

9
Goal tracking
The indicator lights illuminate as you hit 20% increments towards your goal. Tap your
Lepton to see your progress. When you reach your goal, Lepton will celebrate by
buzzing and flashing its lights.
Sleep mode
When you tap your Lepton rapidly for one or two seconds to enter sleep mode, it will
vibrate and display two slowly dimming lights. During sleep mode, two blinking lights
alternate. After you tap your Lepton rapidly to exit sleep mode, it will vibrate and flash
all five lights three times and then display a spinning light pattern.
Charging
While your Lepton is charging, an indicator light will pulse to show the battery level
every few seconds. Each indicator light represents progress towards the total charge.
When the Lepton has charged completely, all 5 indicator lights will blink.
Updating
If an update fails to complete, your Lepton's LED indicator lights may cycle back and
forth repeatedly, from left to right, and your Lepton no may longer respond to taps,
charging, or resets.
Alarms
When a silent alarm goes off, the Lepton vibrates and the center light flashes.
Charging your Lepton
Your Lepton comes equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery.
With normal use, your Lepton should last about five days before needing a charge. You
can check the level of your battery by logging in to Fitbit.com and clicking on the gear
icon on the top-right corner of the page.
To charge your Lepton, plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer.
Remove the tracker from the wristband, and insert it into the charging cable, with the
LED indicator lights facing up.

10
The LED indicator lights will progressively illuminate on your Lepton as it charges. Each
light represents 20% of the maximum charge. Once all five lights pulse in unison, your
Lepton will be fully charged. Charging completely can take up to three hours.

11
Tracking your Fitness with Lepton
Your Lepton tracks:
•Steps taken
•Calories burned
•Distance traveled
•Active minutes
•Time asleep
•Number of times awoken
Setting goals with Lepton
Your Lepton is designed to track your progress towards the fitness goal you choose.
Goals can be set for steps taken, calories burned, or distance traveled.
To choose the specific goal you want to track:
1. Log in to your Fitbit.com dashboard and click the gear icon in the top right
corner.
2. Click Settings > Devices.
3. Under Daily Goal Progress, choose the goal you would like to track.
4. Sync your Lepton to send the new goal to your tracker.
Note: Your Lepton starts tracking your goal for the next day at midnight, according to
the time zone you’ve selected for your account. The reset that occurs at
midnight does not delete the previous day’s data; all your data will appear on
your dashboard when you sync your tracker.
Once you’ve chosen which goal you want to track, you can set a specific value for that
goal on the Fitbit.com dashboard page or using the Fitbit app for mobile. For example,
instead of the default 10,000 steps per day, you may want your goal to be 15,000 per
day. To change your goal value using your Fitbit.com dashboard:
1. Find the tile that corresponds to your goal.
2. Click the gear icon in the lower left corner of the tile.
3. Change your Daily Goal value.

12
Checking your goal progress
Tap your Lepton twice to see the LED indicator lights indicate your progress towards
your goal.
Each fully lit indicator represents 20% of your total goal. A blinking light shows the
current segment of the goal you’re working on.
In the example below, two lights are solid and the third is blinking. This means you’ve
achieved between 40% and 60% of your overall goal.

13
When you reach your goal, your Lepton will vibrate and flash the LED indicator lights to
celebrate.
Tracking sleep with Lepton
Your Lepton can track the length and quality of your sleep to help you improve your
sleeping habits.
To enter sleep mode, tap your Lepton rapidly for one to two seconds. It will vibrate and
display two slowly dimming lights to indicate that sleep mode has begun.
NOTE: During sleep mode, your Lepton will not display goal progress if you double
tap. Instead, it will alternate two blinking lights, back-and-forth, to indicate
that you are in sleep mode.
When you wake up, tap your Lepton rapidly for one to two seconds to exit sleep mode.
Upon exiting sleep mode, your Lepton will vibrate and flash all five LED indicator
lights.
If you forget to put your Lepton into sleep mode, you can always enter your sleep time
at http://www.fitbit.com/sleep. After creating a record, you will be able to view your
sleep efficiency. You can view your sleep data on the Fitbit.com dashboard or in the
Fitbit mobile app. If you choose, you can also set a goal for number of hours slept.
Using silent alarms
You can set up to eight gently vibrating silent alarms on your Lepton. Silent alarms can
be configured to recur every day, or on particular days of the week.
