Syncing to an iOS device
Your Zip can sync directly to supported iOS devices via Bluetooth. To see if your iOS
device is compatible with Zip, see
http://www.fitbit.com/devices
.
Syncing occurs automatically every time you open the Fitbit app on your iOS device.
All-Day Sync
The Fitbit app also supports all-day sync. This setting allows your Zip to sync with
your iOS device
even when you don't have the Fitbit app open.
NOTE: All-day sync will only operate when your iOS device’s screen is turned on. If
your iOS device’s screen is off, your Zip will not sync in the background until
you wake your iOS device from sleep.
