Here is how to do it:
- To start, find the power switch on the treadmill and toggle it to the offset.

- Attach a paperclip in the pinhole.
- Have another person turn the power switch on while you are holding the clip.
- Replace the clip after the screen has turned on.

Website and app don’t sync
Sometimes the information on your phone and website don’t go in sync. To address the problem, follow these steps:
- Ensure that the Bluetooth on your phone is set to “public.”
- Then, while the app is active, try re-syncing the gadget by pressing and holding the button of the tracker pod until it is red.
- Please press the button once more, then keep it until it flashes fast.
iFit recommends syncing the app and website every week. If not, the data available on the pod may get lost.
Pedometer not functioning
Your calories or steps don’t show up in the app when you try to enter a workout on your tracker. This problem may happen if the pedometer has stopped working.

If it doesn’t work, try the following steps:
- Access “Settings” in your app and choose the “Advanced” option.
- Set the location where you’ll be using the gadget under advanced.
- Make sure that you have calibrated your device.
- Try synchronizing the device with the app once again.
