General Information
The Product
Thank you for purchasing your new fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale. This
booklet covers both the available models of the product, FB201W (White)
and FB201B (Black).
Box Contents
Your Fitbit Aria Scale will contain:
The Fitbit Aria Scale
4 AA batteries, already installed
The Aria Quick Start Guide
General Information
Age/Weight Restrictions
The Aria will work for children over 20 lbs. It should always be accurate for
weight, and if the child has a Fitbit account linked to the scale, BMI, but the
body fat % might not be accurate for children under ten.
The weight limit for the Aria is 350 lbs, or 159 kg.
Safety Information
Use of this device by persons with any electrical implant, such as a heart
pacemaker, is not recommended. Please consult with your doctor if you have
questions regarding use of these devices.
The Aria surface may be slippery when wet. Please use caution when
stepping on a wet surface.

Pregnancy
The Aria Scale is safe for pregnant women to use. While weight data will be
accurate, it will not likely be accurate for body fat % or BMI since there are
dynamic psychological changes that occur during pregnancy.
Environmental Conditions
The scale is designed to operate in typical household temperatures and
humidity levels
It has been tested up to the following extremes:
o5 degrees Celsius and 75% humidity
o35 degrees Celsius and 45% humidity
Lean mode
For most people the scale’s regular method of calculating body fat will work
properly. However, for exceptionally lean people (e.g., a competitive marathon
runner with body fat < 10%) there is a special mode we advise. It’s “lean” mode and
it can be selected during scale setup or in the device settings area:
http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale.

Getting Started
1. Go to www.fitbit.com/start and follow the link for the Aria set up. Then
download the latest Aria installer software for your OS.
2. Run the installation file and follow onscreen instructions
3. After installation, you will be taken to the account setup screen.
(include screen shots here)
Setting Up Your Fitbit Aria
Using a Wi-Fi Enabled Computer
1. After installing the software, you should automatically be taken into Account
Setup. If you already installed, just load the Fitbit Aria setup software.
2. On the first Account Setup screen, you’ll have the option to either create a
new Fitbit.com account, or sign in to your existing one. If you already have a
Fitbit.com account, you should link your Aria scale to it to keep all of your
Fitbit information in one place.
(screenshot of first screen here)
3. Entering your scale details
(screenshot of scale info screen here)
You can give your scale a name, and designate the initials that will
show on your scale when it recognizes you.
You have the option to set the scale for “Lean” or “Regular” mode.
Most people will have regular body types, but for those who regularly
work out for vigorously for several hours a week and have a very low
body fat %, they can place the scale in Lean Mode for greater accuracy.
4. Connect to your Wi-Fi network. The set up software may detect your current
network. If it doesn’t, it will show all visible networks in range. Select your
network from the given list. If your network is password-protected, you can
enter your password in the box to the right. If your network is hidden, select
“Add a network”.
(Screenshot of network connecting screen here)

5. Place your scale in setup mode by pulling on the small tab located on the
bottom of your scale by the battery compartment. The scale’s display will
read “SETUP ACTIVE”. If you already pulled the tab and the screen does not
show “SETUP ACTIVE,” remove one battery, wait several seconds, replace the
battery and close the battery compartment.
(‘Setup active’ display picture here?)
6. The setup software should send your Wi-Fi network to the scale and connect.
The setup software will show progress while it connects to the scale, and the
scale connects to Fitbit.com to link to your account.
(Show the connecting screen)
7. The setup process is complete! If you encountered any errors, please see our
Troubleshoot section for more information.
Setting Up Your Fitbit Aria on your Mobile Device
You can also use a smartphone or tablet with an active Wi-Fi network to set up your
scale. Before you start, you will need to know how to switch Wi-Fi networks on your
device. We recommend this method only for those who can’t use the downloadable
setup tool.
1. Go to fitbit.com/scale/setup on your mobile device.
2. You will see steps to follow (added but needs review)
a. Login or sign up for an account
b. Personalize the scale info
c. Put the scale into set up mode
d. Connect to the scale’s wi-fi network(what are these steps?)
e. Choose the network you want the scale to use
f. Click Next
g. When you see the message instructing you to do so, switch the
wi-fi network back to your regular one
h. When you return to the browser you should see a confirmation
message

Using your Fitbit Aria Scale
How it Works
The Aria will measure your weight and body fat %. Your BMI is calculated
and displayed on your Fitbit.com account and in the mobile apps.
It uploads through your home wireless network to your account on
Fitbit.com.
For greatest accuracy, the scale should be kept on a hard, flat surface. It
should not be used on carpet.
To properly measure body fat %, you must be barefoot and balanced evenly
between both sides of the scale.
Batteries
The Fitbit Aria uses 4 AA batteries, which should last approximately six
months.
The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the Aria.
When the batteries are low, this will show both on your Fitbit.com
Dashboard, on your device settings page, and a low battery indicator will
light up on the scale’s display.
(Screenshots)
When the batteries die, just replace them with new AA batteries.
Display
Stepping on the Fitbit Aria will show the following on the display:
Weight
(Show screenshot here of sample weight reading)
oThe weight units can be changed to display in pounds, kilograms, or
stone by going to your device settings at
http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale.
oFor most accurate weight trends over time, try to weigh yourself at
the same time each day. It is normal for your weight to fluctuate
throughout the day.
Body Fat %

(Show screenshot here of sample body fat % reading)
oThis reading will only be displayed after you connect your Fitbit.com
account with the scale. If you weigh yourself out of the box, it will
show weight but will not have the required body data (height, age,
gender) to give an accurate body fat reading.
oA user must be barefoot to get a body fat % reading.
oIf a user is pregnant, the body fat % may not be accurate.
User’s Initials
(Show screenshot here of sample initials)
oIf the user has paired their Fitbit.com account to the scale, their
initials should show after a measurement has been taken.
oIf the user has not paired their Fitbit.com account to the scale, or they
are not recognized, then the word “GUEST” will be displayed after the
weight measurement.
(Icon screenshots?)
Uploading/Syncing Your Measurements
Your most recent upload, or sync, from your Aria will show on your Fitbit
Dashboard.
Your Aria will sync daily at XX:00 if you have no measurements from the last
24 hours. (NOTE: auto sync may not be in launch version - will know by 4/9)
As long as your home wireless network is working, your measurements
should upload as soon as the measuring is complete.
Inviting Others to use the Scale
Eight different accounts can be linked to an Aria at one time.
The person who set up the scale can invite up to 7 other people to it. Invites
can be sent from Fitbit.com device settings page:
http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale or within the mobile app.
Those invited will be sent an email inviting them to the scale. Upon accepting
the invite, they’ll have the option to either create a new account, or sign in
with their existing Fitbit.com account.

Once an invited user has accepted their invite and linked their account with
the scale, they’ll be able to use the scale and have it wirelessly upload to their
Fitbit.com account.
Even with multiple people using the scale, all assigned measurements will be
private unless the user has changed their privacy settings to make them
visible to friends or public. If you’re not sure what your privacy settings are,
you can see them by going to http://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/privacy.
All people who share a scale become Fitbit friends of one another, so if your
weight is shared with friends, other people using the scale will be able to see
your weight when looking at the measurements list:
http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale.
Removing Users
Anyone who is linked to the scale can remove users from their scale via the
device settings page: http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale.
To remove someone, locate the person on the “People” tab, hover over their
name and click the “X” to the right of their name.
Someone who is removed can be easily added back by sending another invite
email.
Assigning a Measurement to Someone Else on the Aria
If two people on a scale are close in weight (+/- 8 lbs), the Aria will prompt you to
select which person is being weighed. Sometimes it might mis-recognize a person in
the event someone’s weight changes drastically. If this happens, you have the option
of reassigning the weight to the correct person.
When the scale is not sure if it’s you or another person it will say “Tap to
Select User”, then “Step Off”. You should then step off the scale and watch the
screen for your user ID/initials. If someone else’s initials appear first, tap the
scale to switch users. When you see your initials, wait, and after a pause it
will assign the measurement to you.
When the scale does not recognize the user, it will display “GUEST”and show
no body fat reading.
To assign an uploaded measurement to the correct person, go to your device
settings page (http://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/scale), and on the
Measurements tab find the weight. From there you can see whom it is
assigned to and move it to someone else’s account.
Once a measurement is assigned, the scale will then flash the person’s initials
at the end of the reading.
