How to pair and operate the screen-free Garmin CIRQA band?

The Garmin CIRQA band comes without a screen which requires alternative pairing and operating actions.

Pair CIRQA band

The Garmin band needs to be connected to a power source to active its pairing mode.

  1. Plug the cable into the charging port.

  2. Plug the other end of the cable into a USB charging port.
  3. The LED now flashes Purple (purple) in active pairing mode.

    Alternatively, you can manually enter pairing mode by pressing the device button quickly three times or hold the button for approximately 6 seconds until the LED flashes Purple (purple).

    TIP: If you have already paired the device, you must remove it from your phone’s Bluetooth settings before pairing. 

Record an activity

You need to select a favorite activity in the Garmin Connect or Fitrockr app.

  1. Press the button on the CIRQA™ smart band.
  2. The LED flashes Green (green) and the CIRQA™ smart band vibrates when it begins recording your activity.
  3. After you finish the activity, press the button on the CIRQA™ smart band again.
  4. The LED flashes Red (red) and the CIRQA™ smart band vibrates. The activity has been successfully recorded.

Connect to laptop via USB cable

To connect the CIRQA band to a laptop with its USB cable you may need to change its setting to “USB File Access”. This can be done on the Fitrockr app or Garmin Connect app.

Perform a soft reset (force restart)

If you are trying to reset the band because it is frozen, unresponsive, or having syncing issues, you can restart it using the physical button:
  1. Press and hold the side button for 15 to 20 seconds.
  2. Release the button once the status LED goes completely dark.
  3. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to turn it back on.

Perform a factory reset (data and setting reset)

A full factory reset (erasing all user data and restoring default settings) cannot be initiated directly on the CIRQA band due to its screen-less design. A factory reset needs to be performed in the Fitrockr app or Garmin Connect app.
