Installing the Legrand ‎2097TRAI GFCI Outlet Tamper Resistant is a straightforward process. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Turn off the power: Before starting the installation, turn off the power to the circuit you will be working on. Locate the circuit breaker in your electrical panel and switch it off.

2. Remove the old outlet (if applicable): If you are replacing an existing outlet, remove the faceplate and unscrew the outlet from the electrical box. Disconnect the wires from the old outlet, taking note of their positions.

3. Prepare the wires: Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires, exposing about 1/2 inch of bare wire. If necessary, trim the wires to ensure they are the appropriate length for connection.

4. Connect the wires: Connect the black (hot) wire to the brass-colored xxxx terminal on the Legrand ‎2097TRAI outlet. Connect the white (neutral) wire to the silver-colored xxxx terminal. If there is a bare or green wire, connect it to the green xxxx terminal (ground).

5. Secure the outlet: Carefully tuck the connected wires into the electrical box, ensuring they are not pinched or touching any other terminals. Align the outlet with the xxxx holes in the electrical box and use the provided screws to secure it in place.

6. Attach the faceplate: Align the faceplate with the outlet and xxxx it onto the outlet using the provided screws.

7. Restore power and test: Once the outlet is securely installed, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker. Press the "Reset" button on the outlet to restore power. Test the outlet by plugging in a device and ensuring it functions properly.

Please note that these instructions are a general guide, and it's always recommended to consult the user manual provided with the Legrand ‎2097TRAI GFCI Outlet Tamper Resistant for specific installation guidelines and safety precautions.
