Getting Started

Welcome to Fitbit FB504 & FB505, the watch designed for your life. Find the guidance to reach your

goals with dynamic workouts, and continuous heart rate tracking. Take a moment to review our complete

safety information at http://www.fitbit.com/safety.

What’s in the box

Your FB504 & FB505 box includes:

FPO FB504 & FB505 IMAGE FPO CABLE IMAGE FPO WRISTBAND IMAGE

Watch with large wristband Charging cable Additional small wristband

FB504 & FB505’s detachable wristbands come in a variety of colors and materials, sold separately.

What’s in this manual

We’ll explain how to create a Fitbit® account and make sure your watch can transfer the data it collects

to your dashboard. The dashboard is where you’ll set goals, analyze historical data, identify trends, log

food and water, keep up with friends, and much more. As soon as you’re done setting up FB504 &

FB505, you’re ready to start moving.

Next, we’ll explain how to find and use the features that interest you and how to adjust your preferences.

For more information, tips, and troubleshooting, please browse our comprehensive help content at

help.fitbit.com.

Set up Fitbit FB504 & FB505

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iOS, Android, or Windows 10. If you don’t have a

smartphone or tablet, you can also use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC.

Your Fitbit account asks for information such as height, weight, and gender in order to calculate your

stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. Your name and average

daily step count are visible to other Fitbit users. You have the option to share your age, height, weight, or

location with Fitbit friends, but the information you provide is private by default.

Set up with your phone or tablet

The free Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 devices that support iOS, Android, and Windows 10

operating systems.

To get started:

1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. If you’re unsure if

the Fitbit app is compatible with your phone or tablet, see http://www.fitbit.com/devices.

 Apple App Store for iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad.

 Google Play Store for Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Motorola Droid

Turbo 2.

 Microsoft Windows Store for Windows 10 devices such as the Lumia phone or Surface

tablet.

2. Install the app. If you don’t have an account with the store, must create one before you can

download the app.

3. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a series of questions

that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your existing account.

4. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or “pair”, FB504 & FB505 to your

phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the watch and phone or tablet can communicate with one

another (sync data back and forth).

When you’re done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new watch and then explore

the Fitbit dashboard.

Set up with your Windows 10 PC

If you don’t have a smartphone, you can set up and sync FB504 & FB505 using a Bluetooth-enabled

Windows 10 PC and the Fitbit app.

To get the Fitbit app for your computer:

1. Click the Start button on your PC and open the Windows Store (called Store).

2. Search for “Fitbit app”. After you find it, click Free to download the app to your computer.

3. If you’ve never downloaded an app to your computer, you’ll be prompted to create an account

with the Windows Store.

4. Click Microsoft account to sign in with your existing Microsoft account. If you don’t already

have an account with Microsoft, follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.

5. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a series of questions

that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your existing account.

6. Continue following the on-screen instructions to connect, or “pair”, FB504 & FB505 to your

phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure the watch and phone or tablet can communicate with one

another (sync data back and forth).

When you’re done pairing, read through the guide to learn more about your new watch and then explore

the Fitbit dashboard.

Connect to Wi-Fi

During setup, you’re prompted to connect FB504 & FB505 to your Wi-Fi network. FB504 & FB505 uses

Wi-Fi to download playlists and apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster firmware updates.

FB504 & FB505 can connect to open, WEP, WPA personal, and WPA2 personal Wi-Fi networks. Your

watch won’t connect to 5GHz, WPA enterprise, or public Wi-Fi networks that require logins,

subscriptions, or profiles. If you see fields for a username or domain when connecting to the Wi-Fi

network on a computer, the network isn’t supported.

For best results, connect FB504 & FB505 to your home or work Wi-Fi network. Make sure you know the

network password before connecting.

For more information about how to connect FB504 & FB505 to Wi-Fi, see help.fitbit.com.

Sync data to your Fitbit account

Regularly sync FB504 & FB505 with the Fitbit app to transfer data to your dashboard. The dashboard is

where you’ll track your progress, see your exercise history, track your sleep patterns, participate in

challenges, and much more. We recommend syncing at least once a day.

The Fitbit app uses Bluetooth Low Energy technology to sync data with FB504 & FB505 and to update

apps installed on your watch.

Each time you open the Fitbit app, FB504 & FB505 syncs automatically when it’s nearby. FB504 &

FB505 also syncs with the app every 15 minutes if All-Day Sync is on. To turn on this feature:

From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon ( ) > FB504 & FB505 tile > All-Day

Sync.

You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

Wear FB504 & FB505

Place FB504 & FB505 around your wrist. The side of the watch marked with “fitbit” should be on the

bottom of your wrist. If you need to attach the small wristband instead of the large one, or if you

purchased an accessory wristband, you’ll find instructions on how to change the wristband in Change the

wristband.

Placement for all-day wear vs exercise

When you’re not exercising, wear FB504 & FB505 a finger’s width below your wrist bone.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising, keep these tips in mind:

 Try wearing FB504 & FB505 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 could interfere with the heart-rate signal if the watch is lower

on your wrist.

 Make sure the watch is in contact with your skin.

 Don’t wear your watch too tight; a tight band restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-

rate signal. However, the watch should be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during

exercise than during all-day wear.

 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 watch doesn’t show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly

(about 10 seconds). Then you should see a heart-rate reading.

Wrist

For greater accuracy and ease of use, FB504 & FB505 needs to know if you wear it on your dominant or

non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. If you decide to move

FB504 & FB505 to the other wrist, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

Basics

Learn how to manage FB504 & FB505’s settings, set a personal PIN code, change the wristband, navigate

wristband has two separate bands (top and bottom) that you can swap with accessory bands sold

separately. For wristband measurements, see Wristband size.

Check your heart rate

Heart-rate zones help you target the training intensity of your choice. FB504 & FB505 shows your current

zone and progress toward your maximum heart rate next to your heart-rate reading. On your Fitbit

dashboard, you can see your time spent in zones during a particular day or exercise. Three zones based on

American Heart Association recommendations are available by default, or you can create a custom zone if

you have a specific heart rate you’re targeting.

Default heart-rate zones

Default heart-rate zones are calculated using your estimated maximum heart rate. Fitbit calculates your

maximum heart rate with the common formula of 220 minus your age.

Icon

Zone

Calculation

Description

FPO Out of Zone Below 50% of your

maximum heart rate.

Your heart rate may be

elevated but not enough

to be considered

exercise.

FPO Fat Burn Between 50% and 69%

of your maximum heart

rate.

Low-to-medium

intensity exercise zone.

This zone may be a

good place to start for

those new to exercise.

It’s called the Fat Burn

zone because a higher

percentage of calories

are burned from fat, but

the total calorie burn

rate is lower.

FPO Cardio Between 70% and 84%

of maximum heart rate.

Medium-to-high

intensity exercise zone.

In this zone you’re

pushing yourself but not

straining. For most

people this is the

exercise zone to target.

FPO Peak Greater than 85% of

your maximum heart

rate.

High-intensity exercise

zone. This zone is for

short intense sessions

that improve

performance and speed.

Note that the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger reading.

Custom heart-rate zones

Instead of using the default heart-rate zones, you can set a custom zone or a custom max heart rate if you

have a specific target in mind. For example, elite athletes might have a target that differs from the

American Heart Association’s recommendations for the average person. When you’re in your custom

zone, you’ll see a solid heart on your watch. When you’re not in the zone you’ll see an outline of a heart.

For more details about heart rate tracking, including links to relevant American Heart Rate Association

information, see help.fitbit.com.

complete. For best results, make sure your watch is charged and can connect to your Wi-Fi network.

Keep your watch and phone or computer close to each other during the update process.

If you have trouble updating your watch, see help.fitbit.com.

Troubleshooting

If your watch is not working properly, review our troubleshooting guidance below. Visit help.fitbit.com

for more information.

Heart-rate signal missing

FB504 & FB505 continuously tracks your heart rate while you’re exercising and throughout the day.

Occasionally, the heart rate on your watch may have difficulty finding a good signal. When this happens,

you’ll see dashed lines where your current heart rate usually appears.

If you’re not getting a heart-rate signal, first make sure you’re wearing your watch correctly, either

moving it higher or lower on your wrist or tightening or loosening the band. FB504 & FB505 should be in

contact with your skin. After holding your arm still and straight for a short time, you should see your

heart rate again. If the heart rate signal is still missing, open the Settings app ( ) on your watch and

make sure Heart Rate is set to On.

Can’t connect to Wi-Fi

If FB504 & FB505 can’t connect to Wi-Fi, first make sure that you’re attempting to connect your watch

to a compatible network. For best results, use your home or work Wi-Fi network. FB504 & FB505 can’t

connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi, WPA enterprise, or public networks that require logins, subscriptions, or

profiles. For a list of compatible network types, see Connect to Wi-Fi.

After verifying the network is compatible, restart your watch and then try connecting to Wi-Fi again. If

you see other networks appear in the list of available networks but not your preferred network, move your

watch closer to your router.

If you’re trying to download personal music or podcasts, make sure FB504 & FB505 and your computer

are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. To do so, review the steps in Music and Podcasts. For a

stronger Wi-Fi connection, move your watch closer to your router.

If you’re trying to download Pandora stations, first make sure your Wi-Fi network is working correctly.

Try connecting another device to your network. If it connects successfully, try again to download your

station. Note that stations download automatically when the watch is charging and in range of your Wi-Fi

network, or tap Force Sync Now in the Fitbit app to add the stations to your watch.

For more information about how to troubleshoot Wi-Fi, see help.fitbit.com.

Unexpected behavior

If you experience one of the following problems, it may be fixed by restarting your watch:

 Not syncing despite successful setup

 Not responding to taps despite being charged

 Not tracking your steps or other data

Restarting your watch reboots the device but does not delete any data.

To restart your watch, press and hold the back and bottom buttons for a few seconds until you see the

Fitbit logo on the screen.

For additional troubleshooting or to contact Customer Support, see help.fitbit.com.
