Fitbit Stopped Displaying

Dear [Name],

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Upon receiving your email, I conducted some research and found the following information.

Fitbit devices are designed to automatically enter sleep mode after ten minutes of inactivity. When this happens, the device’s display turns off. To reactivate the device’s display, simply tap the screen or press a button.

If the problem persists, there may be an issue with the device’s settings. I recommend the following steps:

1. Check the battery level: If the battery is low, the device may turn off to conserve power. Charge the device for at least two hours and then try turning it on again.

2. Restart the device: Press and hold the side button until the Fitbit logo appears on the screen. Then release the button.

3. Check for software updates: Open the Fitbit app and tap the Account icon > your device image > Check for Software Update. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the update.

4. Check the device’s settings: Open the Fitbit app and tap the Account icon > your device image > Settings. Make sure the Auto Sleep option is turned on.

5. Reset the device: If none of the above steps work, you may need to reset the device. Open the Fitbit app and tap the Account icon > your device image > Settings. Scroll down and tap Factory Reset.

I hope these solutions help resolve your issue. If the problem persists, I recommend contacting Fitbit customer support for further assistance.
