weight) and distance walked (based on step count and length of user’s stride), you are advised to set
your user data in the Setting Mode of the app. Refer to https://www.fitbug.com/setup/orb for more
details.

Battery replacement
The pedometer uses a CR2032 3V battery, which you need to install prior to use. Insert into the back
of the FB929, replace the lid and twist back into place using a small coin.
A red light flashing three times after you have pressed the button to start a mode indicates battery
power is low. A low battery is also indicated on the app in the Device Setup tab.
To replace battery:
1. Use a small coin to remove the battery compartment lid at the back of the pedometer.
2. Remove the old battery and insert the new one, matching the polarities.
3. Replace the lid by twisting it back into place using a small coin.
NOTE: When the battery compartment is opened or battery is replaced, that day’s steps and all the
setting mode data in the pedometer will be reset. The device will not have to be paired again but all
the setting modes e.g. date, time, stride length will have to be reset within the Fitbug app.
