To charge Ace:

Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of Ace. The pins on the charging clip must lock securely with the gold contacts on the back of the tracker. Ace vibrates, and a battery icon appears on the screen.

Charging fully takes up to 2 hours. While the tracker charges, tap it to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery icon. If you haven’t set up Ace yet, you’ll see a message instructing you to set up your tracker.

Wear Ace

Placement

Wear Ace a finger’s width above your wrist bone.

Change the band

Ace comes with an extra small band attached and an additional large bottom band in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold separately on fitbit.com. For band measurements, see “Band size” on page 19.

Attach a new band

Before you attach a new band, first identify the top and bottom bands. The top band has a buckle on it and should be attached to the side closest to the charging port.

The bottom band has notches in it. To attach a band, slide it down on the end of the tracker until it snaps into place.

Track your hourly activity

Notifications from your phone

Tap Notifications.

After you start the update, follow the progress bars on Ace and in the Fitbit app until the update is complete. Keep your tracker and phone close to each other during the update.

Restart Ace

If you can’t sync Ace, don’t see your stats or your tracker is unresponsive, restart your device:

Plug the charging cable into the USB port on a computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger.
Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of the tracker. The pins on the charging cable must lock securely with the port. You’ll know the connection is secure when the tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon on your tracker’s screen.
Press the button on the charging cable 3 times within 8 seconds, briefly pausing between presses. The button is on the end of the charging cable that is plugged into the computer. 8 seconds after the first button press, the Fitbit logo appears on the tracker’s display.
