Managing Settings on your Fitbit Surge
To customize your experience with your Fitbit Surge, you can change a number of
settings directly on the device. For information on changing settings using the
fitbit.com dashboard, see “Managing your tracker from fitbit.com” on page 35.
To change settings on your Fitbit Surge:
1. Display the Menu on your Fitbit Surge, then swipe to Settings.
2. Press the Select button or tap the screen, then scroll up or down to view
available settings.
3. When you see the setting you want to change, press the Select button until
you find the option you want to use.
The settings available on your Fitbit Surge are:
• Heart Rate
• Version
• Regulatory Info
• Shutdown
• Backlight
• Notifications
• Bluetooth Classic
Heart Rate
This setting controls when your Fitbit Surge heart rate tracker is active. Available
options are:
• Auto (the default) – The heart rate tracker is generally active only when you
are wearing your Fitbit Surge.
• Off – The heart rate tracker is never active.
• On – The heart rate tracker is always active; you may want to choose this
option if your heart rate isn’t being tracked even though you are wearing your
tracker.
If you remove your Fitbit Surge but it keeps moving, for example if you put it in a
pocket or backpack, it may record an erroneous heart rate reading. You can prevent
this by changing the setting to Off.
