How to restart the Fitbit Charge 2 (Useful Hack!!)
Our video looks at how to restart the Fitbit Charge 2.
It may be that your device is:
Not syncing.
Not tracking any steps or activity.
Not responding generally - i.e. to button presses, swipes, screen taps etc.
Not turning on after charging.
As an owner of a Fitbit Charge 2, I have experienced some of the issues above a few times. When the initial issue occurred, I did some research online and discovered that you can actually restart the device easily. The information did take a bit of finding however.
That's why I want to share this useful hack with you today.
To restart your Fitbit Charge 2, as demonstrated in the video, ensure that:
You have the Fitbit device
The Fitbit Charge 2 USB charging cable
Laptop / PC
PLEASE NOTE the comments from the help.fitbit.com website which states - "Restarting your device turns it off and on without deleting any activity data. If your device saves notifications, a restart deletes them".
Follow these steps to restart you device:
Simply power up your laptop / PC.
Attach the charging cable onto the Fitbit device as shown in the video.
Plug in the other end of the USB charging cable into you laptop / PC (you should see the battery symbol appear on the face of your Fitbit if connected correctly).
Once all connected and working, press and hold the button of the side of the clock face for around 5-10 seconds (when the device has restarted successfully you will see the Fitbit logo appear on the clock face and the version number beneath).
Your Fitbit Charge 2 device should now have restarted successful.
