The Fitbit Alta is great at tracking our daily fitness activities and reminds us of the things we need to do to stay fit. It also works as an extension of your smartphone by showing notifications of messages and calls on your smartphone.

The Fitbit Alta works with many Android phones and here we are going to set up the Fitbit Alta with the Android based Lenovo Vibe K4 Note.

We bought Fitbit Alta from www.amazon.in for Rs.12999 which is more expensive when compared to its pricing in the US.

Now a days the process of getting the two devices to communicate starts with the necessary app.  A simple search for "Fitbit" on Google Play will result in the proper app listed in the search suggestions. 

  

  

Once you finish download, install and open the app. We are able to access the login screen. Since we have a Fitbit account already, logging in is quick, and you will see dashboard. To add the Fitbit Alta to the Fitbit app, tap on the three lines on top left corner of your Fitbit app and select the devices option from the list. Select the plus sign on top right corner on your devices tab, it will ask you which Fitbit tracker you want to setup. Select the Alta from the list. 

  

  

After selecting the Alta, App will ask "permission request" to turn-on your phone's Bluetooth and agree to the terms & policies.

  

  

The Fitbit App then goes through a series of screens that introduces the Fitbit Alta, including a nice video showing how to hook up the charging cable.  Note you should fully charge the Fitbit Alta before continuing the setup process.

  

To connect the Fitbit Alta with the app, you need to input 4 digit code generated from the Fitbit Alta into the Fitbit app. 

Once the connection is established, you can set up the name. The App then goes through quite a lot of other useful tips on how best we can use the Fitbit Alta.

  

  

  

At this point, you can also customize which wrist you want to wear to Fitbit Alta and what type of clock face to use.

  

  

Once the setup is complete, the App will be able to sync automatically on the Fitbit Alta.

The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note works perfectly with the Fitbit Alta which is fortunate since both products are heavily promoted in India.
