Advice on wiring a 2 gang 1 way switch

Hi,



I need to wire in a 2 gang 1 way light switch and have a mental block on what I need to do.  On the back of the switch it has the following:



L1 L2 a wavy line with an arrow through it (whats this?)



I thought that I would just need to have my live feed in to L1 and the switch live comming from L2, but seeing the wavy line with arrow through it has confused me!, is this the common? do i not need to use it as I am not doing 2 way switching?



Any help appreciated.



Thanks

L1 & l2 won't work. You need to use the common then either 'L' for one way. If the switch works 'upside down' use the other 'L' terminal.
