INSTALLATION
Please note that all electrical installations should be carried out by a fully qualified electrician in conformance with
the National Electrical Code.
Cut a 20-7/8” x 13-1/2” x 3-1/2” deep recess in the wall board to accommodate the In-Wall Box. The recess in the
wall should be open below the In-Wall Box to allow cables to enter the bottom of the unit. The wall should be of
suitable strength to support the weight of the Bath/Spa TV (32.5 lbs). Vertically mounted 2” x 4” wall studs may
be used to provide extra support to the wall board.
Please note, all electrical installation should be carried out by a fully qualified electrician in conformance with the
National Electrical Code.
Electrical Outlets
The LCD-TV requires a GFCI receptacle in which to plug the 12-120V AC/DC adapter. Install a receptacle for this
adapter. The receptacle should be located in a readily accessible area in a dry location.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Plug the power supply cable of the AC/DC adapter into the outlet. The power adapter is not waterproof and
therefore must be positioned in a dry, well-ventilated, accessible area away from water, moisture or heat source.
The 12V side of the AC/DC adapter powers the Northstar LCD-TV. The AC/DC adapter to the LCD-TV is fitted
with a 25’ low voltage cable that should be fed behind the wall to the LCD-TV. Make sure there are two (2) feet of
extra slack at the LCD-TV to allow the power connector to be plugged into the TV for installation. The low voltage
cable should not be cut, shortened or lengthened in any way. Doing so may cause damage to the unit and voids
all warranty.

INSTALLING THE LCD-TV
Remove the Northstar 190 LCD-TV from its packaging. The back of the TV has a cable outlet module with cables
configured to the customer’s requirements. In the proper orientation the cables exit downward out of the module.
Make sure the appropriate cables and their connectors are present. These cables include a low-voltage power
cord and audio/video source connectors.
Fit the Northstar 190 LCD-TV into the In-Wall Box by aligning the unit on the plastic L-Channel pieces. Push the
TV towards the back of the In-Wall Box until the magnetic force is apparent. Be careful with your hand placement
to avoid having your fingers in between the stainless steel bezel and the wall when the magnetic force takes full
eect.

Test the LCD-TV
Prior to sealing the unit, turn on the LCD TV and make sure it is operating properly.
Seal the LCD-TV
When you are sure that the unit is installed and operating correctly, turn the TV o and apply a clear non-
corrosive* silicone sealant to the joint between the edges of the stainless steel bezel and the wall surface material.
Ensure that the silicone is applied into the gap evenly and is applied without any gaps, bubbles, etc. Wipe away
and excess silicone. This seal is of the greatest importance to the reliability and safe operation of the unit and
must be water tight.
*Recommended Silicone Sealants
Loctite: 51388 Superflex
Dow Corning: Any of their neutral-cure flow able silicone adhesives.
