Wiring a Leviton GFCI outlet safely requires following strict terminal mapping. First, shut off power at the main breaker and test with a non-contact voltage tester. Connect the bare copper or green insulated ground wire to the green grounding screw. Connect the incoming hot and neutral wires carrying power from the electrical panel to the brass and silver terminal screws labeled LINE. If protecting downstream outlets, connect outgoing feed wires to the terminals labeled LOAD. Verification: Restore breaker power, press TEST to verify the unit cuts power, and press RESET to resume operation.
