Open it.

Did it all work out?
it indcates we have a low battery
To charge Charge 5:
- Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
- Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the tracker until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable align with the port on the back of your tracker.
okay it's mated and I assume it's charging.
Great!
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Does this mean we have set up her Fitbit?
Sure!
