Updating your Fitbit Charge HR 

Free feature enhancements and product improvements are occasionally made 
available with firmware updates provided through Fitbit Connect or the Fitbit app. 
We recommend keeping your Charge HR up to date. 

Updating your Charge HR takes several minutes and is demanding on the battery. 
We recommend that you charge your Charge HR before updating or while the 
update is in progress.   

To update your Charge HR using Fitbit Connect:  

1.

 

Make sure the wireless sync dongle is plugged in and your tracker is nearby.  

2.

 

Click the Fitbit Connect icon located near the date and time on your 
computer. 

3.

 

Click 

Open

 

Main Menu

 and choose 

Check for device update

4.

 

Log in

 

to your account and give Fitbit Connect a moment to look for your 

Charge HR. 
 
If an update is found, Fitbit Connect will begin downloading and installing the 
update. A progress bar appears on your computer screen and on the tracker 
while the update is in progress. 

Fitbit Connect displays a confirmation screen when the update is complete.
