Using your Ultra
Wearing your Ultra
You can wear the Fitbit Ultra comfortably in or on your pocket or on a bra. You can
wear it directly clipped to your waistband, or you can use the belt clip to attach your
Ultra to thicker waistbands. Use the sleep wristband to track your sleep when you go
to bed.
Using your Ultra in wet conditions
Your Fitbit Ultra should hold up through normal use throughout the day. However,
it is not waterproof and should not be worn in water or during activities where it
might get wet.
Do not wear the tracker directly against your skin during vigorous workouts. Users
who wear the Fitbit on their bra, waistband or any place that comes directly in
contact with their skin during strenuous workouts see more display defects than
those who put their tracker in their pocket during workouts.
Wearing the Fitbit Ultra tracker on a bra or waistband around your home is safe for
your tracker.
Battery life and power
Charging your Ultra
Charge your Ultra by docking it on the base station and plugging the base station
into an available USB port.
For charging purposes only, the base station can be plugged into any USB power
source including (but not limited to):
o!Any computer
o!A Wall A/C to USB adapter
o!A DC to USB adapter (vehicle power port)
When your tracker is on the base station, you can press your its button to see the
battery indicator, which shows it’s charging progress.

Battery life
Your Ultra comes equipped with a rechargeable internal battery. With normal use,
your Ultra’s battery should last approximately five days before requiring a charge.
You can check your battery’s level by logging into your Dashboard and clicking on
the gear icon in the upper right corner of your Dashboard. The battery level recorded
during your most recent sync will be listed to the right of the picture of your Ultra.
It takes one to two hours for your Ultra’s battery to go from empty to a full charge.
You can charge more frequently for shorter time periods to keep your battery from
draining. A full battery will last a minimum of 3 days, but will typically last 5-7 days.
When the Ultra’s battery gets low, the tracker will enter a power saving mode. You
will see an empty battery icon when you push your tracker’s button. After several
presses to the button, the display will stop turning on to save the battery. Please
charge your tracker as soon as possible. The tracker will continue to collect data until
it enters full shutdown mode.
Memory
Your Ultra stores minute-by-minute data for one week. After 7 days, that data is
converted to a daily total, which is stored for an additional 23 days.
When you sync your Ultra, its data is uploaded to your Fitbit.com Dashboard, and
securely stored on Fitbit’s servers. As long as you sync your Ultra within thirty days
of activity, you will be able to transmit that data to your Fitbit.com Dashboard.
NOTE:
Every night at midnight, your Ultra will reset itself. This means your goal
progress and daily data will begin at zero again. This does not delete the data
stored on your tracker. That data will be uploaded to your Fitbit.com
Dashboard the next time you sync your Ultra.
The time this reset occurs is based on the Time Zone set on your Fitbit.com
profile.
