sation services. The access management app memorises
the codes, transfers them to your +garage and turns it into
a smart device. You can associate the codes to the places
and share them via e-mail to other +garage users, perma-
nently or for a limited. Read the instruction manual carefully
to nd out how to connect your +garage, install the app

3. Getting started with
+garage
+garage is an intuitive remote control that does not require
programming - its dedicated app enables you to acquire
access codes from xed code remote controls remotes
and rolling code remotes from selected producers. The app
memorises and transfers them to the plugg +garage to open
your doors and gates when you arrive, using the buttons in
a stand-alone mode through the GPS function. You can also
all the codes with other +garage users simply by sending an
e-mail directly from your iPhone. To acquire the code from an
original remote control, connect +garage to the Apple device
onto which you have downloaded the access code mana-
gement app, after completing the rst charging cycle for the
plugg‘s internal battery.
+garage must be used according to the manufac-
turer‘s safety guidelines.
Using +garage in any way not described in the ma-
nual is regarded as improper use, and +garage will
not be held liable for any inaccuracy, malfunction or
damage to person or persons resulting from this.
4. Protecting +garage

avoid any risk of danger.

• Do not leave +garage near sources of heat
• Do not leave +garage in surroundings that are too

6. Description of +garage
+garage is a plugg, a hardware device that connects to com-
patible new generation smartphones. The +garage remote
control unit is simple to use with an iPhone after the dedica-
ted app has been downloaded from App Store and installed.
The access management app makes +garage a smart devi-
ce. It enables you to acquire codes and associate them with
places by selecting the geographical location on the active
maps using your iPhone‘s localisation services. This lets you
open doors and gates when you arrive, and share the codes
via e-mail with other +garage users. The sharing can also be
restricted to a limited period if desired.
6.1. Activating +garage
+garage is very easy to set up with just a short series of
actions:
• Download and install the +garage access
management app from App Store
• Connect +garage to your iPhone
• Enable the localisation services for +garage
• Acquire the security codes
• Congure preferences
7. Turning +garage on and o
You do not need to turn +garage on and o, as all its func-
tions are controlled from the connected iPhone.
8. The access
management app
The access management app will guide you through the in-
itial setup. This includes acquiring codes, geo-referenced ac-
tivation of door and gate openings and setting preferences.
+garage is much more than a remote control - it manages all
your access points and shares them in an extremely intuitive
way, using only the Plugg device and your iPhone.
The compatible device must have enough free memory
to allow the app to be installed and store the acquired
access codes.
The Apple device paired with your +garage must be
using the latest operating system. If you need to update
this, please refer to Apple guidelines.

9. Using +garage for the
rst time
9.1. Downloading the app
The access management app is available for free download
from App Store. You must download it and open the appli-
cation to proceed with your +garage activation.
9.2. Charging +garage
+garage is powered by an internal lithium ion battery that
must be recharged regularly using a Micro Usb/Usb cable.
The battery is partially charged when you purchase your
+garage - before pairing the plugg you must complete a full
charge cycle.
To prolong the life of the internal LiPo battery:
• only recharge partially and frequently
• do not allow the battery to discharge completely
• carry out a complete charge cycle regularly

9.3. Pairing +garage
In order to use your +garage you must connect it to your
iPhone using the 30-pin or lightning connector. The app will
detect the plugg automatically. The connection will take a
few seconds to complete, then the device is ready for you to
acquire the codes from your original remote units.
9.3. Acquiring codes
It is very easy to acquire the access codes from a remote
unit in use. Tap the +garage garage in the middle of the main
screen while holding down your remote unit‘s „open“ button.

iPhone.
+garage is compatible with xed code remote con-
trols. Before acquiring the code, check the specica-
tions of the of your door or gate opening device.
+garage is compatible with rolling code remotes
made by some selected producers. For more in-
formation, check the website at plusplugg.com/en/

9.4. Using +garage
When an access code has been acquired, you can immedia-
tely check the opening and closing of the associated door or
gate simply by tapping the active buttons on the app‘s main
screen. Access these controls using the +garage icon in the
basic menu at the bottom.
If you have enabled the localisation services for +garage,
when you arrive doors and gates will open automatically,
making use of your iPhone‘s GPS function.
