-
- Place your tower on the minibase.
-
- Connect a USB-C charger to the port on the right side of the minibase. This charger should have PD fast charging capability. (Example: Amazon)
-
- If your charger is compatible and minibase direction is correct, you’ll see the top LEDs flash in this order: gree, blue, white, off, green, green and then turns off.

What are the steps to setup FxBlox Plus?
Setup process for FxBlox Plus- Place your Blox on the base and plug the USB charger into it. The color sequence it flashes will be: Green > Blue > White > Off > Green > Off > Green/Blue > Off. If the last light is blue, it will restart automatically.
- Download the FxBlox app from Google Play (the iOS version is coming soon!).
- Connect with your wallet (Metamask or Trustwallet). You might need to retry a few times due to recent wallet API changes (this isn’t an issue with our app!).
- Connect to the FxBlox Hotspot and turn off your mobile data.
- Let your Blox update itself by connecting it to the internet. You need to click skip on the authorize screen and connect it to the internet.
- Take a break for an hour while your Blox is updating (yes, you can use your phone normally during this time).
- Resume the setup process. If you can’t connect to the FxBlox wifi, you’ll need to restart (unplug and re-plug) your Blox manually 3 times with 45 seconds between each restart.
- If after the 3rd restart you still can’t connect or the blue LED on your Blox doesn’t go off, give it one more restart.
- Connect to the FxBlox hotspot and complete the setup in the app. You might need to retry on the last screen a couple of times to get the “Finished” message.
- Once you see “Connected” on your home screen, you’re all set. Congrats!
My Blox light is not green after power on
ChargerPlease ensure you have a PD3 charger. the power is not important as the tower is very low-power, however, the charger needs to support PD#, which usually means the port on the charger is USB-C. An example is: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B19Y7SHF
I cannot find/connect to FxBlox hotspot
Manual RestartSometimes after the update, you need to manually unplug and re-plug the Blox. Please:
1- First manually unplug and replug the blox up to 4 times (allowing at least 1 min between each restart)If you are still experiencing the issue:
1- In busy areas with a lot of interfering wifis available, you may need to move your phone closer to the Blox
2- Try connecting your blox to the internet with Bluetooth
