(you may have to click the < to see hidden icons).

2. Select Fitbit -> About…

3. On the bottom left corner of the About screen, click on Upgrade Firmware.

the process completes.

Mac

2. Navigate to Applications > Utilities.

3. Double-click on the Terminal application to open it. A terminal window appears.

4. Now enter: FB_OPEN_MODE="userFirmwareUpdate"

/Applications/Fitbit.app/Contents/MacOS/Fitbit

5. The Fitbit application will launch and upgrade your firmware.

6. Do not close the terminal window until after you have quit the Fitbit application.

Using the Desktop Client

The Fitbit Service Manager - System Tray Application (Windows Only)

The tray application provides a visual indication that your base station is plugged in and the Fitbit

Data Uploader service is running. It also launches the Account Setup screen used to link a Tracker

to a new or current account and to upgrade the firmware.

The Fitbit Data Uploader service is running and the base station is plugged in.

The Fitbit Data Uploader service is not running. The easiest way to restart the service is to

reboot your computer.

The base station is unplugged. Check the wiring and try unplugging and replugging the base

station's USB cord.

Note: Launching the Fitbit application by going to Start -> All Programs -> Fitbit -> Fitbit starts

the system tray application. All functions of the installed software are accessed through the system tray

icon.

The Fitbit Data Uploader - Service

This service syncs all your data with the website.

By default, the service will start when you log in to your computer.

Firewall settings (usually those found in a business environment) may prevent the software from

communicating with the website, in which case no sync can take place.
