Receiving Call, Text & Calendar
Notifications
Over 200 compatible iOS and Android mobile devices let you receive incoming
phone call, text message, and calendar event notifications on your Alta HR when
your mobile device is nearby. To determine whether your device supports this
feature, go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices. Note that notifications aren’t available
with the Fitbit app for Windows 10.
Calendar requirements
If you turn on calendar notifications, your tracker will show calendar events and any
information sent from your calendar app to your mobile device. Note that if your
calendar app does not send notifications to your mobile device, you won’t receive
notifications on your tracker.
If you have an iOS device, your Alta HR shows notifications from all calendars synced
to the default iOS Calendar app. If you have a third-party calendar that is not synced
to the iOS Calendar app, you won’t see notifications from that calendar.
If you have an Android device, your Alta HR shows calendar notifications from the
calendar app you choose during setup. You can choose from the default Calendar
app on your mobile device or several third-party calendar apps.
Enabling notifications
Before you turn on notifications in the Fitbit app, make sure that Bluetooth on your
mobile device is turned on and that your mobile device is capable of sending
notifications (often under Settings > Notifications).
For more information about making sure your mobile device permits notifications,
see help.fitbit.com.
Call and text notifications are on by default. To turn on calendar notifications:
1.! With your tracker nearby, on the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon
( ).
2.! Tap the Alta HR tile.
3.! Tap Notifications and turn on or off any combination of text, call, or calendar
notifications.
4.! Follow the onscreen instructions to connect (bond) your mobile device with
your tracker.
