One Answer
The switch you purchased is a three way switch. Three way circuits have a line at one switch and a load at the other switch which is why you have a line/load wire. You need a switch with a separate line and load terminal/wire. Check your instructions or post them to your question. You use one of the travelers for the load connection.
