into the slot on the back of the unit, and turn the door counterclockwise.

of the unit, with the “+” sign facing up. The battery will rest in the center of the
compartment.
4. Once the battery is in place, align the arrow on the battery door with the ‘un-
lock’ icon on your Zip to put the battery door in place. Use the battery door tool
to ‘lock’ the battery door by turning it clockwise until the arrow on the door lines
up with the ‘lock’ icon.

used to represent your activity level. The display will remain on for 30 minutes after inserting
the battery.
6. Take the USB dongle from the box and plug it into a USB port on your computer.

Installing the Fitbit Connect software

If you already have a Fitbit.com account and you want to use the Zip with your existing
account, proceed with Zip setup using that email address.
*There can only be one Tracker per Fitbit.com account. If you already have an Ultra or Zip
associated with Fitbit.com, linking a new device to it will unlink the previous device.
To monitor your Zip and your Ultra simultaneously, create a new Fitbit.com account with a new
email address.

Pairing your Fitbit Zip to a mobile device
The Fitbit Zip will sync with compatible Bluetooth Smart devices. Currently, the iPhone 4S,
iPhone 5, iPod Touch, iPad Mini and 3rd generation iPad will sync to the Fitbit One.
Devices that do not have Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Smart compatibility won’t sync directly with Zip.
To pair your Zip to your mobile device, please do the following:
1. Download the latest Fitbit app for your device. If you already have the Fitbit app, you may need
to update it at this time. Check the App Store to see if there is a Fitbit app update available.
2. Open the Fitbit app. If you already have a Fitbit account and would like to sync your Fitbit Zip
with that account, tap the “Log in” button. Please note that only one tracker can be paired to your
account at a time. If you have multiple trackers, you’ll need to have multiple Fitbit accounts.
