2. Call for help in an emergency

Fitbit ACE Learning Center progress bar 2

Parents are set as emergency contacts by default. Your child can check their emergency contacts by looking for the star icon on their contacts’ photos. If your child initiates a Call for help on their Fitbit Ace LTE, their watch will attempt to call you and any other listed parent. If parents are unreachable:

  • Your child’s Ace LTE will begin calling the designated  emergency contacts.
  • You, and any other listed parent, will receive a notification that your child called for help.
You can also set non-parent contacts as emergency contacts. To do so, toggle the slider Set as emergency contact when you send the invitation, or follow the instructions for Manage contacts. Only one non-parent contact can be added as an emergency contact.​

Call for help on the Fitbit Ace LTE

Your child’s Fitbit Ace LTE must be on the latest software version to Call for help.

To initiate a call for help:

  1. Long press the top side button.
  2. Tap Call for help.
  3. A 5-second timer will begin with the option to stop.
  4. The watch will then begin calling contacts beginning with the first listed parent.
Note: Call for help will automatically try to call the Family manager first, followed by any other parent, and then the emergency contact. Both parents will receive a “called for help” message. Call for help does not call emergency services.
