Step 2 of 9

Power up the Garageio Blackbox

• 

While inside of your home, plug the power adapter (Part  B) 
into the DC IN port on the Garageio Blackbox (Part A).

• 

The front light on the Blackbox will blink orange, and will 
continue to blink orange as you connect your Blackbox to your 
wireless network during the next step.

Step 3 of 9

Connect the Blackbox to your wireless network

• 

Download the iPhone or Android Garageio app. Open the 
app, select “Setup Your Garageio,” and connect your phone 
to WiFi.

• 

Select  “Send BlinkUp” and hold your screen to the Blackbox 
SETUP port for 10 seconds. The Blackbox’s front light must be 
blinking orange for BlinkUp to work.

TIP:

 If the Blackbox’s front light is not blinking orange, restart 

the Blackbox by toggling the power switch, and select the 
“Clear Wireless Settings” option in the app.

• 

Once BlinkUp is complete, the front light will flash green 
several times while it connects to the Garageio service, then 
turn off.

• 

Enter your 16-character Blackbox code online at  

garageio.com/verify

 to check that BlinkUp has been 

successfully connected.

• 

Mount the Blackbox to the side of your garage door opener 
using the adhesive strips on the back of the Blackbox. 

TIP:

 You can also mount the Blackbox to another surface 

nearby (such as the ceiling or wall) using the tabs on the side 
of the unit.

• 

Locate the opener cable (Part D). Plug the black connector 
into the Blackbox OPENERS port labeled 1.
