Hello @Oldtimer141

 

That little piece is called a dongle. It goes into the usb port of a computer to sync the data from your Surge and send it to the Fitbit servers. Not everyone needs a dongle, especially if they have bluetooth on their computer.

 

You can learn more about the Surge in the user manual. click here to view
