 Alta HR is just an activity tracker with an OLED wheelbarrow display and constant heart rate monitoring, not a smart watch, so you can't write and send texts through it like you would with an Apple Watch. The Alta HR display is also limited to 40 characters, so longer notifications will be truncated.

How can I receive notifications in my Alta HR staff about calls, texts and calendars?

When you have combined Alta HR with your iPhone, it is possible to receive notifications on the OLED display of your Alta HR on the OLED display for calls, texts and calendars. There are several steps you need to take to ensure that you receive these notifications.

  1. Go to your iPhone Settings, then find Bluetooth, and make sure you're connected to HR Alta.
  2. Go to Settings and click Do Not Disturb or use the Control Center. If the Do Not Disturb feature is enabled, it does not allow your phone to send notifications to any connected device, including Fitbit Alta HR.
  3. Make sure Notifications is turned on for each application you want to be notified about. For your phone, calendar and messages, make sure they are set to allow Notifications and Show in History on. Messages will also want to show on the lock screen and show as banners on. Enabling app notifications for the Fitbit app itself is also required.

To set up notifications in the Fitbit application, first go to the information panel of your account, then find the device (Alta HR), and then select Notifications. Just switch which categories you want to receive notifications for. You should then receive notifications on the Alta HR display about texts, calls and calendar events, depending on what you have chosen.

So I can receive text notifications but not send them from my Alta frame?

That's right. HR Alta can only receive notifications when you receive new messages, and it is limited to displaying 40 characters at a time. Although the Fitbit Alta HR is a fairly advanced activity tracker with constant heart rate monitoring, it's not a smart watch, so you can receive rather than send.
