IMPORTANT WIRING NOTE: Customer feedback indicates that the wiring diagram provided with the product may be incorrect or misleading, potentially causing short circuits if followed precisely. For a standard 3-way switch configuration:

• El positive (+) battery wire should connect to the terminal comú (often marked '3' or 'Input') of the first switch.
• El positive (+) load wire (to the device being controlled) should connect to the terminal comú (often marked '3' or 'Output') of the second switch.
• El two traveler wires connect the remaining terminals (often marked '1' and '2' or '4' and '5') between the two switches.
• El negative (-) wire from the battery should connect directly to the negative (-) terminal of the load and does not typically connect to the switch terminals in a standard 3-way setup.
