Re: How to wire GFCI receptacle with non GFCI receptacles

The power feed is connected to the terminals marked as 'line'. If this is in the USA, then your white wire should be your neutral and it connects to the terminal closest to the largest slot (found on the front side). The hot is usually black, and it connects to the terminal with the smaller slot. You can connect the ground wires together with a wire nut and then attach a single ground wire to the ground lug.
The 'load' connection is for a line that powers any other receptacles that you wish to protect. You must observe and maintain the black, white, and ground pattern as described.
By all means, disconnect the circuit before wiring. Make sure it is really off before you begin. Truly, it is worth while to take proper precautions.
