Troubleshooting

My step count does not seem accurate

If your step count does not seem accurate, you can try these 

tips.
• Wear the device on your non-dominant wrist.
• Carry the device in your pocket when pushing a stroller or 

lawn mower.

• Carry the device in your pocket when actively using your 

hands or arms only.

NOTE: 

The device may interpret some repetitive motions, 

such as washing dishes, folding laundry, or clapping your 

hands, as steps.

The step counts on my device and my 

Garmin Connect account do not match

The step count on your Garmin Connect account updates when 

you sync your device.

1

Sync your step count with the Garmin Connect app (

Syncing 

Your Data with the Garmin Connect App

, page 2

).

2

Wait while the device syncs your data.
Syncing can take several minutes.

NOTE: 

Refreshing the Garmin Connect app does not sync 

your data or update your step count.

My distance traveled does not seem 

accurate

If your distance traveled does not seem accurate, you can 

calculate your custom stride length on your Garmin Connect 

account (

User Settings

, page 3

).

My device does not display the correct time

The device updates the time and date when you sync your 

device to a mobile device. You should sync your device to 

display the correct time when you change time zones and when 

daylight saving time begins or ends.

1

Confirm that your mobile device displays the correct local 

time.

2

Sync your device to the mobile device (

Syncing Your Data 

with the Garmin Connect App

, page 2

).

The time and date update automatically.

How do I pair a new device with an existing 

Garmin Connect account?

Connect app, you can add a new device from the app settings 

menu.

1

Open the Garmin Connect app.

2

From the settings menu, select 

Garmin Devices

 >

Is my smartphone compatible with my 

device?

The vívofit 4 device is compatible with smartphones using 

Bluetooth wireless technology.

Go to 

www.garmin.com/ble

 for compatibility information.

Tips for Pairing and Syncing

• Bring the device within range of your smartphone.
• After you pair your device with your Garmin Connect account, 

the device does not stay constantly connected. Instead, it 

syncs periodically. You can manually sync your device at any 

time by opening your Garmin Connect account.

• If your device and smartphone are already connected but do 

not sync, turn off Bluetooth technology from your smartphone 

settings, and turn it back on.

• If your device and smartphone are already connected but do 

not sync, remove the device from your Garmin Connect 

account, and pair it again (

Pairing with Your Smartphone

page 2

).

I do not have a smartphone

You can turn on the device and use it with limited functionality, 

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 2

) or computer (

Pairing Your Computer

, page 5

) to 

use additional device features.

NOTE: 

Some device features require a paired smartphone.

Pairing Your Computer

You can use an optional USB ANT Stick

 to pair your device 

with your computer. Go to
