They can be, IMHO. It may take some time to sift through the various postings to find a tidbit of info that's relevant, but on the whole I feel they are.

Feb 13th 2015. Just got my flex and don't have a clue what to do or whgere to go. Dowloaded something, plugged in the dongle but now what? Can't find basic instructions and can't understand what everyone is talking about. I need to get active or I will die.

 

This post is over 12 months old. That's just crazy.

 

Please help.


You downloaded the Connect software, now you have to run this download to setup your computer to connect to your Fitbit Tracker. When you run it it will step you through the process of connecting your new tracker to your account.

If you get the error that the bluetooth dongle cant be found, try every usb port even if you have to move your keyboard or mouse. On a lot of computers it only works in one usb port

Thanks MBanks_N49,

 

I was in a panic and frustrated, lol. One step leads to several more and I'm slowly working it out. Trouble is, I'm on the computer instead of being active. Oh well...

Hi,

I'm just new myself. I'm using my computer to keep track of everything. It's quite a complex program but i'm enjoying it and hope to make progress soon. I think using the forums is the best way to get advice or check out the "help" section.

@Balto_Joe you've probably got your answer already if not it takes about 30minutes to an hour tops to charge.
Enjoy your Fitbit 🙂
Best Answer
While it's charging, a light will slowly blink, then 2, then three lights.
You're not fully charged at 3 lights but you're ready to go. I can't
remember how long it takes to charge fully but check the "help" files form
an answer.

It took mine between 3 and 4 hours.

hi all.  i am new to this forum.  just got my fitbit for valentines day.....whats better than the gift of health.  i have wanted the hr for a while.  i think it is helpful in that i am more aware of moving in general but am hopeful that i can find more motivation on line.  i am a bit computer illiterate, so any help regarding finding friends and challenges would be helpful to me.  thanks and good luck to everyone with their personal goals.

The Fitbit flex does not record stairs climbed I know because I used to own
one, , these days I use a Fitbit One which does record stairs climbed and
it also registers height climbed when you are walking outside if there are
any hills on your walking route it records them as floors climbed. Hope
this information helps

I love my fit bit!!
I would encourage you to make use of the sleep monitor. I waited to use that function, now that I am using it,.. It is as important to me as the other functions. It is not as challenging as I thought it would be and I am blown away at the actual "sleep" and the restless periods! Very telling!!

Do you have a smartphone that you can down load the app? I only use my phone and it sync's wirelessly. Much much easier!!
