  1.  Before you begin, charge your device with the included charger; device must be charged to 39% or higher to pair to your phone.
     

  2. Search for and download the Fitbit app from the App Store or Google Play.
     

  3. Once the app downloads, open it and select “Join Fitbit" (or login if you have an existing account).
     

  4.  Next, enter a username (which is simply your desired e-mail address) and choose a password.
     

  5. Select the appropriate Fitbit model from the list of Fitbit options and then tap “Set Up.”
     

  6. Look over the Terms of Service and tap "Agree" to continue the setup. You may be prompted to update the Fitbit to continue.
     

  7. Next, your Fitbit will display a 4-digit code, enter this into the app (in order to pair the Fitbit and phone).
     

  8. You will then be prompted to view a brief tutorial on using the Fitbit (if you are familiar with using Fitbits, feel free to skip the tutorial).
     

  9. After the tutorial, the Fitbit app and device should be linked.
     

  10. To finish, turn on Location Services - you can choose either “Always On” or “Only When App is Open.” Location Services is used for tracking movement and exercise more effectively.
