Before you begin

unlock the battery door. Insert the tool into the slot on the back of the unit,
and turn the door counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Once the door has been removed, insert the provided battery into the back of
the unit, with the “+” sign facing up. The battery will rest in the center of the
compartment.
3. Once the battery is in place, align the arrow on the battery door with the

tool to ‘lock’ the battery door by turning it clockwise until the arrow on the
door lines up with the ‘lock’ icon.
4. Once the display comes on, you will be ready to proceed with setup. The
device version of your Zip will appear on the display, followed by a series of
smiley faces, which are used to represent your activity level. The display will
remain on for 30 minutes after inserting the battery.

Installing Fitbit Connect and pairing your Zip

installation program:
-For Mac: Install Fitbit Connect.pkg
-For Windows: FitbitConnect_Win.exe
3. Double-click the file name to install Fitbit Connect.
4. Follow the brief onscreen instructions to finish setting up. You’re ready to get
moving.
Syncing to a computer
Now that Fitbit Connect is installed, your Zip will automatically and wirelessly sync
with your computer every 20 minutes or so if the following requirements are met:

4
•Your Zip 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.
To manually synchronize your Zip with your dashboard, click the Fitbit Connect icon
on your computer (located near the date and time) and click Sync Now.
Setting up your Fitbit Zip Using a mobile device
You can set up and wirelessly sync your Zip using over 120 mobile devices that
support Bluetooth 4.0 technology. To see if your mobile device is compatible for
syncing with your Zip, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If your device is listed, you can
then download our free iOS, Android, or Windows Phone app and follow the
installation process in the app.
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.

Using Fitbit Zip
What Fitbit Zip tracks
Zip’s display will show you the following:
•Steps taken
•Calories burned
•Distance traveled
•A clock
•The Fitbit Smiley, which
highlights your recent activity level
To conserve battery life, your Zip sleeps during periods of inactivity. Zip will go to
sleep after approximately 20 seconds if no steps are recorded. Once your Zip is
asleep, its display will remain off until moved.
Wearing your Zip
Zip is most accurate when worn on or very close to the body. Ideal places to wear
your Zip include a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few
different locations to see what is most comfortable and secure for you.
A clip designed to keep your tracker clipped to your clothing is provided with your
Zip package.
The Zip is not designed to be worn in direct contact with the skin. Always use the
silicone holder when clipping it to a bra or waistband, with the display facing
outward. Do not wear the Zip inside your bra.
Some users may experience skin irritation even when wearing the Zip as instructed
on the bra or waistband. If this occurs we recommend clipping it on your pocket,
belt, or other external piece of clothing.
The Zip is sweat, rain, and splash resistant, but not waterproof. It is not intended to
be worn swimming.
Battery life
Your Zip runs on a replaceable 3V coin battery, CR2025. With normal use, your Zip’s
battery should last approximately 6 months.

6
A battery icon will appear on your Zip display when the battery has drained to 25%.
A flashing battery icon indicates that your Zip is very close to being drained. Data
could be lost if your Zip is not synced before replacing the battery.
If your Zip battery drains, purchase a new 3V coin battery, CR2025. Use the provided
battery door tool to unlock the battery door compartment, located on the back of
the Zip.
You can check your battery’s level by logging into your dashboard and clicking on
your photo and name. The battery level recorded during your most recent sync will
be listed to the right of the picture of your Zip.
Memory
Your Zip stores minute-by-minute data for 7 days. After a week, that data is
converted to a daily total, which is stored for an additional 23 days.
When you sync your Zip, its data is uploaded to your Fitbit.com dashboard and
securely stored on Fitbit’s servers. As long as you sync your Zip within thirty days of
activity, you will be able to transmit that data to your Fitbit.com dashboard.
NOTE: Every night at midnight, your Zip 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 Zip.
The time this reset occurs is based on the time zone set on your Fitbit.com
profile.
