Accepted Answer

General steps: (1) switch off the main power, (2) mount the socket base to the wall and align with the wall plate, (3) connect live (L) and neutral (N) wires to the brass screw terminals, (4) connect the earth wire to the earth terminal, (5) secure connections, (6) fit the faceplate and restore power. The product design with brass terminals supports quick wiring, and the unit is intended for indoor installation in dry locations.
