How to Set Up a Fitbit Aria 2 Using a Mac or PC

If you don't have a smartphone or tablet, an optional setup method is available that uses a program that you can download from the official Fitbit website. If you own a Windows 10 PC, it's highly recommended that you download the Fitbit app and follow the steps mentioned above as that method is much more reliable.

1. On your Mac or PC, open your preferred internet browser and go to https://www.fitbit.com/setup/aria

2. Download the relevant program for your computer and open it.

3. Select Get Started.

4. Log in to your Fitbit account or create a new one by entering your email and a unique password.

   If you're creating a new account, you will be asked to enter your gender, height, and other personal information.

5. The program will then ask you to name your Aria scale. You can call it anything you want. Enter your name for it and select Next.

6. You will then place your scale in Setup Mode. To do so, remove the paper slip that's in the battery door of the Fitbit Aria. The Aria's display will tell you it's in Setup Mode if done correctly.

   If this doesn't work, you will need to remove at least one battery from the device, wait 10 seconds, and then place it back in.

7. In the program, enter your Wi-Fi network's name and password. Your computer will send this information to your Aria, which will connect to Fitbit's servers to complete the setup. This can take up to two minutes to complete.

8. If successful, a smiley face icon will show on your Aria's display, and the program on your computer will give you a completion message.

How Are Fitbit Aria and Fitbit Aria 2 Different?

• The physical design is slightly different, with a larger screen.
• Better Wi-Fi network compatibility that allows it to detect and connect to more types of Wi-Fi signals.
• The Fitbit Aria 2 has Bluetooth functionality, which allows it to sync to a Fitbit app that's installed on a Bluetooth enabled device such as a smartphone or tablet.
• The weight limit on the Aria 2 has been increased to 400 lbs. The original Aria was limited to users that weighed under 350 lbs.
