Receiving Call and Text Notifications
Over 120 compatible mobile devices let you receive incoming phone call and text
notifications on your Fitbit Surge. To determine whether your device supports this
feature, go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices. When you receive a notification, your
Fitbit Surge vibrates and caller information is shown in a banner across the top of the
screen.
Enabling call and text notifications
To enable call and text notifications on your Fitbit Surge, you connect (“pair”) your
Fitbit Surge to the Fitbit app:
1. From the Fitbit Surge menu, swipe to Settings and make sure Notifications is
set to On.
2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
3. Make sure your Fitbit Surge is within 20 feet of your mobile device.
4. Open the Fitbit app on your mobile device and tap the Fitbit Surge tile at the
top of the mobile dashboard.
5. Enable Notifications and follow the onscreen instructions.
When your Fitbit Surge has been successfully paired for notifications, it appears as a
connected device named “Fitbit Surge” in your list of Bluetooth devices.
Viewing call and text notifications
Fitbit Surge receives notifications when you are within about 20 feet of your mobile
device. When you receive a call or text, your Fitbit Surge vibrates and a notification
appears at the top of the screen for 7 seconds. If the caller or sender is in the
contacts list on your mobile device, the name is shown. Otherwise, the phone number
of the caller or sender appears instead. The icon indicates whether you are receiving
a call or a text.
