Syncing Charge 6 to exercise equipment

ANSWERED

Is there a way to sync to exercise equipment minutes into your workout? I manually start my workout tracking, do cardio at the end, and would like to sync heart rate at that time. Once it is in workout mode the only options appear to be related to YouTube music controls, and no option to synch to equipment. Anybody found a way around it?

You can't do that while you already tracking workout. Fitbit broadcasting will stay on only for a few moments giving you time to pair with machine so in your case turning broadcasting on before workout won't solve your problem. Only thing you can do is using different HR monitor (ideally supporting ANT+ which is much simpler to connect thelan BLE).

@MikeD1405 before you start tracking your workout, from main screen swipe down into settings and scroll until you see "HR on equipment". Enable it and you may be lucky and pair your tracker with the machine.

Thanks - that is the quandary - I want to connect approximately 30 mins
into the woekout when I do cardio - up until then I am doing weights and
not connected to equipment.
