Planning the Installation

Prior to installing the WireTracks iCove, you need to answer some important questions:

Will the iCove need electrical connectivity?
The WireTracks iCove is designed to be electrified so you can both store and charge your devices. However, your installation will be much easier if the iCove is installed directly above an electrical outlet. Otherwise you will need to fish wiring.
WireTracks wiring channels can simplify fishing electrical wiring by opening up a space behind your wallboard through which you can run wiring. For more information, visit the WireTracks website at www.wiretracks.com or contact a member of the WireTracks support team at 888.886.WIRE.

Will the iCove need low-voltage wiring connectivity?
If the wiring is rated for in-wall installation, simply remove one of the knockouts on the iCove Cachebox and run the wiring. However, some wiring must be run through conduit and it is a lot easier to change wiring that is installed in conduit.
It is highly recommended to install conduit when installing the iCove. This will simplify your installation and make future changes easier.

Before you Begin
Make sure you have the following parts:
· Docking station
· Picture frame that fits the iCove
· Conduit (required for low-voltage connections)
· Romex or electrical conduit (required if electrifying the iCove)
· Electrical outlet and face plate
· WireTracks Conduit Connector (optional)
· WireTracks wiring channels (optional)

Make sure you have the following tools:
· Wallboard saw or utility knife
· Stud finder (optional)
· Phillips screwdriver
· Long Phillips screwdriver
· Jeweler's Phillips screwdriver
· Twine or thin rope (if installing conduit)

Testing the Installation

Before installing the iCove, it is a good idea to make sure that your device will fit within the iCove cabinet. To do this, connect any wires to the docking station of the device, install the device in the docking station, and place it into the iCove.

If the device or cables do not fit, you may need to obtain wires with smaller connectors or secure a smaller docking station.
