Meet Fitbit Charge 5, our most advanced health and fitness tracker that helps you

keep a pulse on your stress, physical readiness, heart health, and overall well-being.

Take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety.

Charge 5 is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.

What's in the box

Your Charge 5 box includes:

Tracker with small band

(color and material varies) Charging cable Additional large band

The detachable bands on Charge 5 come in a variety of colors and materials, sold

separately.

Charge your tracker

A fully-charged Charge 5 has a battery life of up to 7 days. Battery life and charge

cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

To charge Charge 5:

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified

USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.

2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the

tracker until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable

align with the port on the back of your tracker.

Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While Charge 5 charges, double-tap the screen

to turn it on and check the battery level. Swipe right on the battery screen to use

Charge 5. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon.

Set up Charge 5

Set up Charge 5 with the Fitbit app. The Fitbit app is compatible with most popular

phones. See fitbit.com/devices to check if your phone is compatible.

To get started:

1. Download the Fitbit app:

lApple App Store for iPhones

lGoogle Play Store for Android phones

2. Install the app, and open it.

lIf you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account tap the

Wear Charge 5

WearCharge 5 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band, or if

you purchased another band, see the instructions in "Change the band" on page13.

Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise

When you're not exercising, wear Charge 5 a finger's width above your wrist bone.

In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by

removing your tracker for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend

removing your tracker while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing

your tracker, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos,

and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your tracker and may

cause skin irritation.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

lDuring a workout, experiment with wearing your tracker a bit higher on your

wrist for an improved fit. 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 tracker is lower on your wrist.
