3. Secure the receptacle in the electrical box: Once the wires are connected, carefully place the receptacle into the electrical box. Align the xxxx holes on the receptacle with the holes on the electrical box and use the provided screws to secure it in place. Ensure that the receptacle is flush with the wall or box surface.

- Press the Reset button: Press the Reset button on the receptacle to ensure it is in the correct position for operation.
- Periodically test: Periodically test the receptacle by pressing the Test button. This should cause the Reset button to pop out, simulating a ground fault.
