Troubleshooting
Socket feels loose in the wall box
Tighten the claw adjustment screws or utilize the dedicated screw-fastening points for a more secure connection to the wall box.
Wire does not stay in the spring terminal
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the terminal hole until the spring mechanism engages.

- Wiring: Strip the wire ends according to the provided template, then insert them into the spring-clamp terminals until they lock into place.
