Fitbit Inspire is a friendly fitness tracker for every day that helps you build healthy habits.
Take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety.
Inspire is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.

What’s in the box
Your Inspire box includes:

Tracker with a small band (color and material vary)| Charging cable| Additional large band (color and material vary)

The detachable bands on Inspire come in a variety of colors and materials, sold separately.

Set up Inspire

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. You can also set up Inspire 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 birthdate, 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 profile picture 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 has a battery life of 5 days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
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.
