You should now be able to see Caller ID on your Fitbit Charge HR display and feel a vibration alert on your wrist. To test the functionality, you can do a test call to your iPhone. If everything is set up correctly, the caller’s name should scroll across the Fitbit display, and your device will vibrate.
