Welcome to Fitbit Alta, a customizable fitness tracker that’s as versatile as your
personal style. Take a moment to review our complete safety information at
fitbit.com/safety.
What's in the box
Your Alta box includes:
Tracker Charging cable Wireless sync dongle
The detachable bands on Alta come in a variety of colors and materials, sold
separately.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged Alta has a battery life of up to 5 days. Battery life and charge cycles
vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.
To charge Alta:
5
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, or a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Clip the other end of the charger into the port on the back of Alta. The pins of
the charging cable must be lined up with the charging port on Alta and
securely locked into place. You'll know the connection is secure when the
tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon on the screen.
Charging fully takes up to 2 hours. While the tracker charges, tap it to check the
battery level. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon.
Set up with your phone
Set up Alta with the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. The Fitbit
app is compatible with most popular phones and tablets. For more information, see
fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
6
1. Download the Fitbit app:
l
Apple App Store for iPhones
l
Google Play Store for Android phones
2. Install the app, and open it.
l
If you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account > tap the
Today tab > your profile picture > Set Up a Device.
l
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 Alta 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.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
See your data in the Fitbit app
Open the Fitbit app on your phone to view your activity and sleep data, log food
and water, participate in challenges, and more.
7
Wear Alta
PlaceAlta around your wrist. If you purchased another band, see the instructions in
"Change the band" on page10.
Put on your band
1. Put on the band so the top of the tracker is on the outside or top of your wrist.
2. Align both ends of the band so they are directly overlapping each other with
the clasp over the two holes that best fit your wrist.
8
3. Squeeze both the clasp and the band between your thumb and forefinger until
you hear a click.
You’ll know your Alta band is securely fastened if both ends of the band are fully
inserted.
NOTE: If you’re having trouble, try securing the band off your wrist to get a feel for
how it securely clasps and then try again on your wrist.
9
Wrist choice and handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify which wrist you wear Alta on, and which
hand you consider dominant. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and
eating. To start, Wrist Placement is set to Left and Handedness is set to Right.
Change either setting in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture >Alta tile >Wrist
Placement or Handedness.
Change the band
The wristband has two separate bands (top and bottom) that you can swap with
accessory bands sold separately.
Remove a band
1. Turn over Alta and find the band latches.
2. To release the latch, press down on the flat button on the band.
10
3. Slide the band up from the tracker to release it.
4. Repeat on the other side.
If you’re having trouble removing the band or if it feels stuck, gently move the band
back and forth to release it.
Attach a new band
Before you attach a new wristband, first identify the top and bottom bands. The top
band has a clasp on it and should be attached on the side closest to the charging
port. The bottom band has notches in it.
To attach a new band, slide it down on the end of the tracker until you feel it snap
into place.

13
Check battery level
If your battery is low, when you wake up your Alta you’ll see a low battery icon after
a few seconds. If you see a critical battery icon you’ll be unable to navigate to any of
the tracker screens until you charge your tracker. Your tracker continues to track
your activity until your battery runs out.
You can check your battery level at any time on the battery screen. To see the

Track your hourly activity
Alta helps you stay active throughout the day by keeping track of when you're
stationary and reminding you to move.
Reminders nudge you to walk at least 250 steps each hour. You feel a vibration and
see a reminder on your screen at 10 minutes before the hour if you haven't walked
250 steps.
When you meet the 250-step goal after receiving the reminder, you feel a second
vibration and see a celebration.
Turn on reminders to move in the Fitbit app.

Track your sleep
Wear Alta to bed to automatically track your time asleep and movement during the
night to help you understand your sleep patterns. To see your sleep stats, sync your

When an update is available, a notification appears in the Fitbit app. After you start
the update, a progress bar appears on Alta and in the Fitbit app until the update is
complete. Keep your tracker and phone close to each other during the update.
Note: Updating Alta takes several minutes and may be demanding on the battery.
We recommend plugging your tracker into the charger before starting the update.

22
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following issues, restart your tracker:
l
Won't sync
l
Won't track steps or other data
l
Won't respond to taps
To restart your tracker:
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. You’ll know
the connection is secure when the tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon
on your tracker’s display. The battery icon disappears after three seconds.
3. Press the button on your charging cable 3 times within 8 seconds, briefly
pausing between presses. The button is on the end of the charging cable that
is plugged into the computer. When you see the Fitbit logo and the tracker
vibrates, this means the tracker has restarted.
After your tracker restarts you can unplug it from the charging cable and put it back
on.
