How to switch off Versa after factory reset

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Hello...Need some advice. 

I had a black Fitbit versa that I was using for a few months. Today I got gifted a new Fitbit. As my previous Fitbit is still in great condition I am planning on selling it online. I managed to factory reset the device so my data would be removed and the new owner can sync into the device with no issues. Now the device is showing the "to start, download fitbit app" screen (which you see when you start the device for the first time).  But now I don't know how to shut down the device. There is about 80% battery left. I have to post the device to the new owner but I don't know if the battery would last the postage time. Any advice on how I can shut the device down?

Hi, 

How do you turn your versa off after a factory reset if you can't get into settings and I don't want to restart it, because I want to sell it?

The article isn't helpful because you can't get to settings after a factory reset. Is there a way that doesn't involve entering settings?

Best Answer

Hold the button on the left side down at the same time you are holding down the bottom button on the right.  For like 10 seconds.

@mommyKait Do you even have one? Pressing left and bottom right button for 10 seconds is restart, not shutdown. 🙂

Amazing that the Mod posted not once, but twice, how to shut down from settings, even though posters said they don't want to set up again if they're getting rid of it. I was told just leave it after reset and don't worry about it.
