Fitbit Flex Easy Quick Start Guide
For Mobile Devices (Phones / Tablets)
Welcome to our easy setup guide for your Fitbit Flex fitness tracker for IOS, Android and Windows mobiles
devices.
The Fitbit Flex is compatible with over 100 smart phones and tablets. To check whether your mobile device
is compatible with the Fitbit Flex, please visit: www.fitbit.com/uk/devices and select between IOS, Android
and Windows to view all compatible devices.
GETTING STARTED:
Ok, now you’ve seen that your mobile device is compatible with the Fitbit Flex, it’s time to get you started.
The first thing you want to do is put your Fitbit Flex tracker on charge. Simply insert it into the USB charge
cable and plug into a USB power source, such as a laptop, pc, or phone charger.
We advise that you charge your Fitbit Flex until at least 3 lights are flashing, which will ensure it has
enough charge to complete the setup process.
DOWNLOAD THE APP:
Depending on the operating system on your mobile device (IOS, ANDROID, WINDOWS) go to your app
store and search for the Fitbit app. Please make sure you choose the right app, which should clearly have
the fitbit logo on it, like the one at the top of this guide.
Ipad users please note that you may have to look under the “iPhone Only” section of the app store to
find the right app. Don’t worry, it does work perfectly well on the iPad.

SETTING UP YOUR Fitbit ACCOUNT :
A Fitbit account is free and not only does it help you keep track of your fitness goals from your phone or
tablet but you can log in on any PC or Laptop and view your stats on a larger screen.
NOW
OPEN THE FITBIT APP ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE AND LET’S GO THROUGH THE SETUP TOGETHER
The first thing you need to is join Fitbit (Please note that if you already have a Fitbit account you can simply
login at this point, which will cut out the next few steps).
Then simply select Flex as your tracker and then select the option to set up your flex.
In order for Fitbit to accurately calculate your fitness levels and calories burnt, you will need to accurately
enter some personal details. Don’t worry, this information won’t be shared.
Do remember of course to try to keep your weight statistics up to date. If you start to lose weight, it’s
important that you keep this information accurate so that Fitbit can help you achieve your targets

JUST A FEW MORE STEPS TO COMPLETE YOUR ACCOUNT
To finalise your account, simply pop in your date of birth. Add your name, email address and a password
of your choice and accept the Fitbit terms and conditions.
The email address and password you use will become your “login” details. This way if you want to log into
the fitbit website or upgrade your phone or tablet, you can still access all of your Fitbit tracking details.
You will notice that item (3) on the Meet your flex list is a wireless sync dongle. This dongle is only needed
for those syncing to a laptop or PC and is not needed to sync to a mobile phone or tablet. The version you
have purchased is for syncing with mobile devices, so contains no dongle. However you will still be able
to read your stats from a PC or laptop by logging onto the fitbit website.
You remember we told you to start charging your flex earlier, well now you’re ahead of the game. So once
your flex has charged to 60%, you’ll be ready for the next step in super quick time.

SYNCING TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE
You’ll notice with your Flex, you received 2 wristbands of 2 different sizes. Find the one that fits you best
and insert the clasp into the end where there are only 2 holes.
Then provided your tracker is charged, insert the tracker into the wrist band as shown in the image above
and on the app. Finally, secure your flex to your wrist using the clasp.
Once you have read the care and wearing tips and click “Next Step” your tablet or phone will start to
search for your device. Again, make sure it has 60% charge and hopefully it is now on your wrist, so close
enough to sync.
Once your device had found your Fitbit flex, you will be prompted to tap the display until you feel a
vibration. As soon as you feel the vibration, you can proceed to the very final stages.

TIME TO GET TRACKING
Fitbit has set you a challenge of 10,000 steps a day and will buzz and flash when you reach your initial
target. You can also have a quick look at how you are getting on by tapping your flex throughout the day.
When syncing to your mobile device, it’s also easy to do a quick check on exactly how you are getting on
including steps, km and calories burnt.
Please note that we all burn calories every day just to keep our bodies ticking over. Based on your height,
weight and age, Fitbit will work out roughly what your body will burn and then add any additional exercise
calories to the basic figure.
