Congratulations!
You’re just a few steps from unlocking the true potential of your BlackBerry®, with
the Zentral Garage Door Control. Just follow the directions in this Setup Guide—
and soon you’ll have secure and reliable control over your garage door from your
BlackBerry.

that it works with your Receiver. The serial ID (for
example, “1A2B—3C4D”) is located on the bottom
of the Receiver. Write it down here.

3Pair your BlackBerry with the Receiver
Before you can establish a Bluetooth® connection between your BlackBerry and the
Zentral Receiver, you must first pair the two.
1. Find a convenient outlet and plug in the Zentral Receiver.
Note: Once you’ve plugged in your Zentral Receiver, you have 10 minutes to pair it with
your BlackBerry. (If you can’t pair it in that time, just unplug the Receiver and plug it in
again. Now you’ve got another 10 minutes to pair.)
2.From your BlackBerry home screen, press the menu key ( ) and select
Setup ( ).
3.In the Setup menu, select Set Up Bluetooth ( ).
4.In the Add Device dialog box, choose Search. (Make sure you’re within 15 feet
of the Zentral Receiver.) This search may take a few seconds to finish.
5.When your BlackBerry is finished searching, it displays the Bluetooth devices
found. Select Garage xxxx-xxx Zentral (“xxxx-xxxx” is the serial ID) to
connect to it.
Make sure Bluetooth is on...
1. From your BlackBerry home screen, press the menu key ( ) and select Manage Connections.
2. In the Connections menu, locate Bluetooth. Press the select key to turn it on (if it isn’t already
checked).

6.The next screen requests a passkey to connect to the AR Zentral Garage Door
Control Receiver. Enter “0000” as the passkey and press the select button.
7. Once you’ve entered the passkey, your BlackBerry asks if you want to connect
to the AR Zentral Garage Door Control Receiver. Choose No (the Zentral App
will take care of the connection later). The final screen shows you that your
BlackBerry is connected.
IMPORTANT: If you’d like for additional BlackBerry users to have access to this
Garage Door Control (like your spouse, for example), now is a good time to pair those
BlackBerry phones with the Zentral Receiver as well. Once you’ve finished setting up
Zentral Garage Door Control with one BlackBerry, you can repeat steps 5–7 with the
others.

4Set up the Receiver
The Zentral Garage Door Control Receiver is the link between your BlackBerry

Later, you’ll pair it with your BlackBerry.

opener!
1. Unplug your garage door opener.
2.Find a good location for the Zentral Receiver. Make sure the spot you choose:

3.Use the velcro mounting patch to secure the Zentral Receiver to the location
you’ve chosen.

adapter reaches an electrical outlet and the Zentral Receiver’s wire leads reach your
garage door opener’s terminal connections.
Peel the film covering from one side of the adhesive on the mounting patch.
Apply the patch to the bottom of the Zentral Receiver. Remove the film
covering from the other side and apply it to the mounting location (for
example, your ceiling).

Troubleshooting
Most common problems with the Zentral Garage Door Opener can be solved by trying one of the
following solutions. If you have any further questions, please call our help line toll-free at 1-800-732-6866
or visit www.ZentralHomeCommand.com.
I can’t pair my BlackBerry with the Zentral Receiver.
The Zentral Receiver is discoverable for 10 minutes
after you plug it in. If you haven’t paired it with
your BlackBerry in that time, unplug the Receiver
and plug it back in.
I’ve installed the Receiver, but now my garage
door opener doesn’t work.
Make sure you’ve left the leads from your garage
door opener’s wall control connected to the
opener—the Receiver and the wall control should
both be connected to the same terminals on the
opener. Make sure you’ve plugged the garage door
opener back in after installing the Receiver.
I can’t download the App.
Make sure have a strong signal (WiFi or mobile).
If you’re using a corporate account on your
BlackBerry, you might need to ask your IT
department to allow you to download and install
applications. If you still can’t download or install
the App, call the technical support line for your
mobile carrier.
The App won’t install on my BlackBerry.

How do I set up additional garage doors?
To be controlled by Zentral Garage Door Control,
each garage door needs its own Receiver. Once
you’ve purchased the Receiver to control your
additional garage door(s), follow the instructions
in this guide for installing the Receiver and pairing
it with your BlackBerry. Once you’ve installed the
additional Receiver, launch the Zentral Garage
Door Control App on your BlackBerry. Then press
the key and select Add New Remote. Follow
the prompts to add each new Receiver to your
App.
