Many thanks for trying, but I can’t slide it over to turn green (as per below), and I have turned all notification options on. Do, I’m not getting the pop-up message to link to my iPhone. Do you have any other ideas?
many thanks 🙏🏽
Tap Notifications; move the slide over till it turns green, then a pop-up message should appear requesting permission to set up your tracker to your iPhone's

Thank you. It worked for me. And I am very happy to hear that you run with your German Shepard. Keep the bad people away.

Tried the following from all these other users having similar problems. Using Fitbit Charge 2 and Iphone 6S. iOS is updated. Initially got "FBBluetoothErrorDomain error 18" after pairing device.
- "Forgot" device, and reset bluetooth. Then it just locks up after inputting 4 digits when we try to pair.
- Re-downloaded iOS app. Still wont pair.
- Reset tracker with UL listed charger, still wont pair.
- Reset tracker with PC, still wont pair.
- Reset everything, downloaded PC app to try and pair through dongle. App crashes when we try to sync.
- Re-downloaded PC app and it still crashes every time we try to sync
- About to head back to Costco for refund.
