Fitbit Insipre User Manual

Fitbit Inspire is a friendly fitness tracker for every day that helps you build healthy habits. Take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety. Inspire is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.

What’s in the box

Your Inspire box includes:

The detachable bands on Inspire come in a variety of colors and materials, sold separately.

Set up Inspire

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. You can also set up Inspire on Windows 10 devices. If you don’t have a compatible phone or tablet, use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Keep in mind that a phone is required for call, text, calendar, and smartphone app notifications.

To create a Fitbit account, you’re prompted to enter your birthdate, height, weight, and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. After you set up your account, your first name, last initial, and profile picture are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide to create an account is private by default.

Charge your tracker

A fully-charged Inspire has a battery life of up to 5 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

To charge Inspire:

Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
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 the tracker charges, you can press the button to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.

Each time you open the Fitbit app, Inspire syncs automatically when it’s nearby. You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

Wear Inspire

Choose to wear Inspire around your wrist or in the clip accessory (sold separately). If you need to remove the band or attach a different band, see the instructions in “Change the band” on page 13.

Wear Inspire on your wrist

Wear Inspire a finger’s width above your wrist bone. Attach the bands, and then securely fasten your tracker on your wrist. For more information, see “Change the band” on page 13.

Secure the band

If you previously wore Inspire in a clip, change your device setting to On Wrist. For more information, see “Navigate Inspire” on page 15.
Place Inspire around your wrist.
Slide the end of the band with the peg through the loop.
Align both ends of the band so they directly overlap, and choose the hole that best fits your wrist.

Squeeze the peg and band between your thumb and forefinger until you feel the band snap into place. Don’t wear your tracker too tightly.

Handedness

For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Inspire on your dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. By default, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Inspire on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Inspire tile > Wrist > Dominant

Wear Inspire in a clip

Wear Inspire clipped to your clothing. Remove the bands, and then place your tracker in the clip. For more information, see “Change the band” on page 13.

Hold the tracker with the screen facing you and the button on the left.
Hold the clip with the opening facing you and the button insert on the left.
Place the top of the tracker into the clip opening and move the bottom of the tracker into place. Inspire is secure when all edges of the clip lie flat against the tracker.

Clip Placement

Wear Inspire on or close to your body with the screen facing outward. Secure the clip tightly to a shirt pocket, bra, pants pocket, belt, or waistband. Try out a few different locations to see what’s most comfortable and secure for you.

If you experience skin irritation when wearing Inspire on your bra or waistband, clip it to an external piece of clothing instead, such as your belt or pocket.

Change the band

Inspire comes with a small band attached and an additional large, bottom band in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold separately on fitbit.com. For band measurements, see “Band size” on page 33.

Remove a band

Turn over Inspire and find the quick-release lever.
While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the band away from the tracker to release it.

Repeat on the other side.

Attach a band

To attach a band, hold the band and slide the pin (the side opposite the quickrelease lever) into the notch on the tracker.

While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the band into place.

When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.
