I do not have a smartphone or computer

until you complete the setup process on a smartphone or 

computer. Prior to setup, you can use only the step count, auto 

goal, and move bar. Your device resets your step count once a 

day. The device attempts to reset your step count while you are 

sleeping, based on your inactivity level from your first day of 

use. Your device does not store any history data until setup is 

complete.

Set up the device on a smartphone (

Smartphone Setup

page 1

) or computer (

Computer Setup

, page 1

) to use 

additional device features.

NOTE: 

Setup is a one-time process, and it allows you to use 

all available device features.

My device won't turn on

If your device no longer turns on, you may need to replace the 

batteries.

The device resets, and the screen turns on.

Pairing Multiple Mobile Devices or 

Computers with Your Device
