getting the most out of your fitbit flex with rewalkz.me

What do the light patterns mean on my Flex?

Couple of days back I got confused seeing two lights blinking instead of one and decide to do some research on what it actually means, I never really gave much attention to my FITBIT FLEX besides using it to track my steps on a daily basic. Can you believe that it also comes with an alarm feature?

Fitbit Flex features five LED indicator lights. The lights behave differently depending on what the tracker is doing.

Goal Tracking
The indicator lights illuminate as you hit 20% increments towards your goal. Tap your Flex to see your progress. When you reach your goal, Flex will celebrate by buzzing and flashing its lights.


Sleep Mode
When you tap your Flex rapidly for one or two seconds to enter sleep mode, it will vibrate and display two slowly dimming lights. During sleep mode, two blinking lights alternate. After you tap your Flex rapidly to exit sleep mode, it will vibrate and flash all five lights three times and then display a spinning light pattern. For more information, see How do I track my sleep?

Charging
While your Flex is charging, an indicator light will pulse to show the battery level every few seconds.
Each indicator light represents progress towards the total charge. When the Flex has charged completely, all 5 indicator lights will blink. For more information, see How do I charge my Flex?

Updating
If an update fails to complete, your Flex's LED indicator lights may cycle back and forth repeatedly, from left to right, and your Flex no may longer respond to taps, charging, or resets. If this occurs restart your tracker using the instructions at How do I restart my tracker? If an update still fails to complete, try updating using a different method; for example, if you were updating using Fitbit Connect on your computer, try updating using the mobile app. If this fails as well, contact Customer Support for further troubleshooting.

Alarms
When a silent alarm goes off, the Flex vibrates and the center light flashes. For more information, see How do I manage silent alarms with Flex?
