Using a vivofit Device Without Setting It up on a Computer or Mobile Device

The vivofit series can be used with limited functionality until the setup process is completed using Garmin Connect App. Prior to setup, basic mode will offer four screens:

  • Step count
  • Auto goal
  • Move bar
  • Heart rate (devices bundled with heart rate monitor straps)

NOTE: vivofit jr. devices will display steps and active minutes and will not display full functionality until you complete setup using the Garmin Jr. App 

The device will reset your step count once a day. The device attempts to reset your step count while you are sleeping, based on your inactivity level from your first day of use. For example, after three hours of inactivity on the first day of use the device will assume the time is midnight and reset the step counter to zero. For subsequent days it will use that time as midnight until setup is complete. While in basic mode, the device does not store any history data until the setup is complete.
