How to Fix Alerts and Vibrations on Fitbit Charge 2

Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

Your Fitbit is designed to give you notifications throughout the course of the day, such as common alerts from your mobile device, meeting an exercise goal, or if an alarm was set. These notifications happen in the form of a vibration on the tracker itself. This guide will help you troubleshoot your devices should these notifications stop functioning properly.

2. Alarm Setup

The screen of your Charge 2 will turn on when you lift and turn your wrist towards you. Press the button or double-tap to turn on the screen then flip through the menus by pressing the button again. If an alarm has been set, you will see a screen with a bell and the set alarm time. Alarms can only be set by using the Fitbit app. You can manage existing alarms right on your tracker.

1. Open the Fitbit Application.
   

1. Select the Account icon.
   

1. Select your device, then select Silent Alarm.
   

1. Either Turn on an alarm, or set a new alarm.

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or any USB wall charger.
2. 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.
   

1. Make sure the button on your tracker is aligned with the button opening on the charging cable.
