Learning my Blaze

[Mima76]

I have questions I can't find answers to in manual.  Do you leave the dongle in the USB port or take it out and use only when charging.  My bluetooth was off on my Blaze.  I turned it on and it synced, but there is a red triangle on my dashboard saying bluetooth is off even tho it synced????

I'll probably have more questions, but I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed.  What I have learned so far (just started last night), I love it.  But my Charge HR was easier to learn.

I also read on the forum that there was an update a few days ago.  Will I automatically get this or should I go hunting for it?

The dongle is used for syncing not charging. I leave mine in all the time.

For the update you need to open up connect/ MAin menu and then select chek for new updates

The update is beeing distributed in waves so we need to wait. From what I've been told it will show in the app when it's your turn to get it

Thank you, Belanna84.  I'm loving the Blaze.  Have only had it for 2 days and learning quickly.  I did a search on the Fitbit site and found out I am up-to-date on updates.  I'm assuming it's because I set it up just the night before last and the update was included.  I appreciate your help on this tho.  And hopefully, we'll meet again on line.

Thank you WendyB.  I appreciate knowing this as I was told two different things when setting it up with chat help.  I find it easier to leave it in all the time, then I know where it is.  🙂  I appreciate your response.  Hope to meet up again sometime on line.  I love my Fitbit and love learning more about it.

The invitation is send by email, though for security this isn't displayed to other users as it's not also needed to know to be friends on Fitbit when becoming friends this way.

Thank you, Mystique. I always wondered how you made friends in the community. I thought most people knew each other personally. Hope we can be buddies too!

I too have a red triangle showing "Bluetooth is OFF". You say you turned it ON but without giving details of how you did it. (Disclaimer: I am totally ignorant of what Bluetooth is and/or how it works.)

[Rich_Laue]

Is this triangle on the app or the tracker? My guess is that it is in the app and you need to turn the Bluetooth on through the phone settings screen..not knowing if your on a phone or and what os i won't know how to. 

[Mima76]

It's on the tracker. Go to exercise and open one of the choices, i.e., biking, running, etc. When you tap the triangle, it starts the session. Don't forget to turn it off when you're done. Good luck and have fun.

Tap the triangle to turn on the Bluetooth on your tracker and be sure your Bluetooth is on in your pc as well.
