Set up FB417
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS and Android devices. Keep in mind that a
phone is required for call, text, calendar, smartphone app notifications and to view statistics
like GPS exercise routes and Sleep Stages.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your height, weight, and sex to calculate
your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. After you
set up your account, your first name, last initial, and photos are visible to all other Fitbit users.
You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide to
create an account is private by default.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged FB417 has a battery life up to 7 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with
use and other factors; actual results will vary. With occasional use of the built-in GPS, the
battery life is up to 4 days and in continuous built-in GPS use, battery life may be as low as 5
hours.
To charge FB417:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-certified USB wall
charger.
2. Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of the tracker. The pins
on the charging cable must lock securely with the port. A battery icon appears on the
screen to confirm the charger is properly connected to the tracker.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the button to
check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.
Set up with your phone or tablet
The free Fitbit app is compatible with most popular iOS and Android Devices. If you're unsure if
the Fitbit app is compatible with your device, see fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device.
• Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads
• Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets
2. Install the app, and open it
• If you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account, and tap the account
icon > Set Up a Device
• If you don't have a Fitbit account, tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a series of
questions to create a Fitbit account
3. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connect FB417 to your account
When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your new tracker
and then explore the Fitbit app.

See your data in the Fitbit app
Sync FB417 to transfer your data to the Fitbit app, where you can view your activity and sleep
stats, log food and water, participate in challenges, and more. For best results and to keep all
your stats on the tracker and mobile app up to date, keep all-day sync turned on and the
FB417 will sync periodically with the app.
If you turn off all-day sync, we recommend syncing at least once a day. Each time you open the
Fitbit app, FB417 syncs automatically when it's nearby. You can also use the Sync Now option
in the app at any time. Stats such as Sleep Score on device and GPS exercise maps in the app
are available after the tracker syncs to the app.

Wear FB417
Place FB417 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband, or if you
purchased an accessory wristband, see the instructions in "Change the wristband" on page 9.
Placement for all-day wear vs exercise
When you're not exercising, wear FB417 a finger's width above your wrist bone.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
• We recommend wearing FB417 higher on your wrist during exercise for an improved fit
and more accurate heart-rate reading. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight
lifting, cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which can interfere with the heart-rate
signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.
• Make sure the tracker is in contact with your skin.
• Don't wear your tracker too tight; a tight wristband restricts blood flow, potentially
affecting the heart-rate signal. The tracker should be slightly tighter (snug but not
constricting) during exercise.
• With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving
vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may limit the sensor's ability to provide
a heart-rate reading. If your tracker doesn't show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your
wrist and staying still briefly.
Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear FB417 on your dominant or non-
dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. To start, the
Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear FB417 on your dominant hand, change the
Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

Change the wristband
FB417 comes with a small wristband attached and an additional large, bottom wristband in the
box. Both the top and bottom wristbands can be swapped with accessory wristbands, sold
separately. For wristband measurements, see "Wristband size" on page 30.
Remove a wristband
To remove the wristband:
1. Turn over FB417 and find the wristband latches
2. To release the latch, press down on the flat button on the wristband
3. Gently pull the wristband away from the tracker to release it
4. Repeat on the other side
Attach a new wristband
To attach a new wristband, press it into the end of the tracker until you feel it snap into place.
If you have trouble attaching the wristband or if it feels loose, gently move the wristband back
and forth to make sure it's securely attached to the tracker.

Basics
Learn how best to navigate, check the battery level, and care for your tracker.
Navigate FB417
FB417 has an OLED touchscreen display and 1 button.
Navigate FB417 by tapping the screen, swiping side to side and up and down, or pressing the
button. To preserve battery, the tracker’s screen turns off when not in use.
Basic navigation
From Home screen (same as clock):
• Swipe down to see notifications
• Swipe up to see your daily stats
• Swipe left to see the apps on your tracker
You can select, download and change clockfaces using the Fitbit app
Quick settings
Press and hold the button on FB417 for a faster way to access certain settings. Tap a setting to
turn it on or off. When you turn off the setting, the icon appears dim with a line through it.
On the quick settings screen:
o Turn Do Not Disturb on or off – tapping the icon turns this feature on and off. When it
is on, notifications are turned off
o Turn Sleep on or off - tapping the icon turns this feature on and off. When it is on,
notifications and screen wake are turned off and the screen brightness is dimmed when
the screen is turned on by the side button. Sleep mode can be scheduled by swiping left
to the Settings menu and scrolling down to Sleep Mode. Tap on Sleep Mode, select
Schedule On and then tap Sleep Interval to set the start and end time.
o Adjust your Screen Wake setting. When the Screen Wake setting is on, turn your wrist
toward you to turn on the screen
o If you use Do Not Disturb or Sleep, those modes override each other so you can use one
or the other at a time. When you use either Do Not Disturb of Sleep, Notifications
control will be grayed out since either of these features overrides Notifications settings.
