Installation
The installation is done with no written instructions.  The on line process for me failed at the last step too many times to count.  It seemed so easy.  Download an install program, run it and enjoy the results.  It was so frustrating to get to the last step that required fitbit contact on line and have the process stop dead.  I knew I was missing something, so I went back and read everything carefully without actually physically following the instructions.  What I missed was a poorly placed note to disconnect the Ethernet connection.  Counter intuitive when you are doing an on line install.  The install continued to fail until I noticed a small hole on the bottom of the scale.  There is no documentation on this, but I figured it might be a reset port.  Once reset, with the Ethernet connection removed the process via wireless Internet was smooth and fast.  Once set up the scale function is fun, but don't count on getting within a pound of your actual weight.  My Doctor's scale shows me 1.3 pounds heavier.  As long as the relative weight stays constant, I can live with applying 1.3 pounds to the Aria.  It is very modern looking and has a nice backlit digital display.  The input into the fitbit program works great on my MAC desktop, iPad, and iPhone.  After a delay, I did hear from tech support with a boilerplate response.  They never mentioned anything about the Ethernet disconnect or the reset port. I was really on my own.
