each time worn

distance traveled , a clock and the Fitbit
Smiley (highlights your recent activity
level)
• Every night at midnight, your Zip will reset
itself. This means your goal progress and
daily data will begin at zero again.
• Zip is not waterproof!
• Open and close battery compartment with
care!
• The Zip is known to cause some skin
irritation so it might be best not to make
direct contact with skin.
