Connect the NEUTRAL wire to the neutral (white) wires. Connect the LINE and 3-WAY wires to the two remaining wires. At the other 3-way switch, connect the jumper wire between the“common” screw and the screw where the LINE wire of the PLS750C/PLS751C is connected.NOTE: If the timer screen does not turn on when you apply power at the circuit break (step 4), cut the powerat the circuit breaker again, switch the blue (LOAD) and the black (LINE) wires and reapply power.NEW 3-WAY INSTALLATIONThe switch will turn the lights on at sunset and turn them off at 11:00 pm by default.
