Set up Inspire HR

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. You can also set up Inspire HR on Windows 10 devices. If you don’t have a compatible phone or tablet, use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Keep in mind that a phone is required for call, text, calendar, and smartphone app notifications.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your height, weight, and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. After you set up your account, your first name, last initial, and photos are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide to create an account is private by default.

Charge your tracker

A fully-charged Inspire HR has a battery life of up to 5 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.
To charge Inspire HR:

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger.
2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the tracker until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable align with the port on the back of your tracker.

Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the button to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon with a smile.

See your data in the Fitbit app

Sync Inspire HR to transfer your data to the Fitbit app, where you can view your activity and sleep data, log food and water, participate in challenges, and more. For best results, keep all-day sync turned on, so that Inspire HR syncs periodically with the app.

If you turn off all-day sync, we recommend syncing at least once a day. Each time you open the Fitbit app, Inspire HR syncs automatically when it's nearby. You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

Wear Inspire HR

Place Inspire HR around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband, or if you purchased an accessory wristband, see the instructions in "Change the wristband" on page 13. Note that the clip accessory isn't designed to fit Inspire HR.

Placement for all-day wear vs exercise

When you're not exercising, wear Inspire HR a finger's width above your wrist bone.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

• Try wearing Inspire HR higher on your wrist during exercise for an improved fit and more accurate heart-rate reading. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting, cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which can interfere with the heart-rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.

  

• Make sure the tracker is in contact with your skin.
• Don't wear your tracker too tight; a tight wristband restricts blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal. The tracker should be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise.
• With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement may limit the sensor's ability to provide a heart-rate reading. If your tracker doesn't show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your wrist and staying still briefly.

Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Inspire HR on your dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and eating. To start, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Inspire HR on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

Change the wristband

Inspire HR comes with a small wristband attached and an additional large, bottom wristband in the box. Both the top and bottom wristbands can be swapped with accessory wristbands, sold separately. 
Remove a wristband
To remove the wristband:

1. Turn over Inspire HR and find the quick-release lever.

2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the wristband away from the tracker to release it.

   

3. Repeat on the other side.

Attach a wristband
To attach a wristband:

1. Attach the wristband with the clasp to the top of the tracker. Slide the pin (the side opposite the quick-release lever) into the notch on the tracker.

   

2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the wristband into place.

   

3. When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.

Troubleshooting

If Inspire HR isn't working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below. Visit help.fitbit.com for more information.

Heart-rate signal missing

Inspire HR continuously tracks your heart rate while you're exercising and throughout the day. If the heart-rate sensor on your tracker has difficulty detecting a signal, dashed lines appear.

If your device doesn't detect a heart-rate signal, first make sure heart-rate tracking is turned on in the Settings app on your device. Next, make sure you're wearing your tracker correctly, either by moving it higher or lower on your wrist or by tightening or loosening the wristband. Inspire HR should be in contact with your skin. After holding your arm still and straight for a short time, you should see your heart rate again.
GPS signal missing
Environmental factors including tall buildings, dense forest, steep hills, and even thick cloud cover can interfere with your phone's ability to connect to GPS satellites. If your phone is searching for a GPS signal during an exercise, you'll see an icon at the bottom of the screen.

For best results, wait for your phone to find the signal before you start your workout.

Other issues

If you experience any of the following issues, restart your device:

• Won't sync
• Won't respond to taps, swipes, or button press
• Won't track steps or other data
