Initiating a Soft Reset

Simply hold down the side button and the bottom button on your device until the screen turns off and then back on again. This is how you can initiate a soft reset on your Fitbit Charge 3.

It’s a quick and simple solution to get your device back up and running smoothly.

Performing a Hard Reset

When experiencing persistent issues, holding down both buttons on your device can initiate a hard reset, which may help resolve the problem.

Performing a hard reset on your Fitbit Charge 3 is a simple process. First, locate the button on the left side of your device, which is the back button. Then, locate the button on the right side, which is the home button.

Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds until the screen turns off. Release the buttons and wait for a few seconds. Finally, press the home button again to turn on your device.

This hard reset can be useful in troubleshooting various issues such as freezing, syncing problems, or unresponsive screens.
