Setting up your Fitbit Surge
You can set up your Fitbit Surge using your computer or the Fitbit apps for iOS,
Android, or Windows.
Setting up your tracker with the Fitbit app
Over 120 mobile devices and Windows 10 PCs and tablets that support Bluetooth 4.0
technology allow you to set up and wirelessly sync your Fitbit Surge. To see if your
mobile device is compatible with your Fitbit Surge, visit www.fitbit.com/devices. If
your device is listed, you can then download our free app and follow the setup
process in the app. If your device is not listed, check back frequently because we’re
continually adding new devices.
Even if your mobile device cannot sync via Bluetooth 4.0, you can still use the Fitbit
app to view your data and track your progress—you’ll just need to set up and sync
your Fitbit Surge using a Mac or PC.
Setting up your tracker using a Mac or PC and Fitbit
Connect
To set up your Fitbit Surge using your computer, you’ll first install Fitbit Connect.
Fitbit Connect is the software application that connects (“pairs”) your Fitbit Surge to
your fitbit.com dashboard, where you can view your data, log food, and more.
