How do I turn off Bluetooth on Fitbit Versa

[Satish.online]

I’m looking for the option to turn OFF Bluetooth in versa, this is in order to avoid the radiations during sleeps. 

Avoiding unnecessary Bluetooth exposure is a good health choice.

Else I will strongly go for other brands when I’m buying for my wife and son. Eventually I will move to smart watches that has his option

Welcome to the Community Forums @Satish.online. It's not possible to turn off the Bluetooth on Fitibit Versa.

For anything else you would like to see implemented in the future, consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board. This is a space where Community users can post features, ideas, and suggestions that they'd like to see in future Fitbit products, accessories, and software and top-voted suggestions get relayed to our product team for review. 

Fitbit trackers operate at such low RF power levels that they are exempt from the evaluation used for other devices (like cell phones). This means our trackers are in a completely separate category and emit significantly less energy than phones or other RF devices. I know that it's easy to worry about things like RF exposure, but hopefully, it helps to hear that our products operate far below FCC compliance levels, and are considered to be completely safe. There is no option to turn Bluetooth off.

In addition, this article will detail how the LEDs are just visible light and are as safe as any household lightbulb. I hope this helps to clarify any questions you may have.

My husband works in a government facility that requires phones and other devices have bluetooth and wifi turned off.  If it's not possible to do this with the Versa 2, I will have to get him a different watch.  😞

Hi @Satish.online , go to the settings of your Versa and scroll down to BT. There you have three choices: on - pair - off. Choose off and your BT is disabled. Checked that myself on my old Versa and my Versa 2. This choice is available. regards kuzibri

Thank you! Is that on the watch or on the phone app? I don't have a Versa yet, was thinking about buying for my husband and want to be sure I can disable the bluetooth so he can wear it to work.

Hi @WhiteQueen , it's on the watch itself. regards kuzibri

Hello @WhiteQueen, 

be careful  because what suggested by @SunsetRunner actually doesn't deactivate the entire BT system of the watch but only the pairing with external devices such as earphone.

Therefore you might found yourself in a position to have given a present to your husband who can't actually wear it at work.

Well, 

I have an EMF reader and it spikes nearly every 2 seconds with the versa 2

I just buyed it today and it will go return today due to this missing feature.

Not Professional to not have this option.

1. For health reasons.

2. For some areas it is needed to have a kînd of flight mode.

Its a pitty as i do like the design and all the options and software.

Hopefully fitbit will introducé this option soon.

But for me not having this option is a no go...

Regards

Danny

Mine does not have this. Under the BT setting it is just to pair or not pair music. Your device is still BT active.
