I could tell you but don't know how much you know about wiring, so I would recommend having it done by an electrician, why take the chance of being electrocuted if its done wrong. Sorry
Hi, me again, I just thought maybe you can't afford a pro so why don't you go to a DIY site and they should have diagrams on how to connect the wires to the outlet. If you then don't understand what they say then hire a pro, ok, I wish you luck, hope this helps.

your local hardware dealer should sell a receptacle tester it plugs into the receptacle to make sure its hooked up right ---costs only a couple of bucks -- if you connecting to an existing recpt. to supply power to your new recpt. then plug the tester into the live recept and goto you power panel and turn off the hot recptacle breaker -- the tester will verify that the power is off --- take the existing receptacle out and copy the wiring on the existing recptacle -- white to white black to black -- when hooking up the new receptacle look on the back for the side that says hot --- hot = black wire -- on most receptacles there are different colored screws the darker brass screws usually are for the black wire and the silver looking screws are for the white wire -- once your done turn the breaker on and put the tester in the new receptacle it should read good ---

They have good and easy books on how to do this at home improvement stores. I think you could also go onto DIY.com and see if they have it there. Just make sure that you aren't overloading the circuit and remember to shut the circuit off before starting.
