My bathroom fan is controlled by a switch with 2 black wires connected to it. I suppose I can find the white wire and the copper wire inside the metal box. The 30 mins Leviton timer has 4 wires: Blue, Green, Black and White. So at this point I am not sure what to do except to buy a new device to get the installation sheet.
Thanks.

Switch has 2 black wires. One black is hot wire. One black is wire going to fan. Turn off power. Remove wires from switch and separate. Turn power back on. Using ordinary tester, test each black wire to bare copper ground wire. Only one of the black wires will test hot. The other black wire goes to fan.
Timer black wire connects to black hot
Timer blue wire connects to black wire going to fan
Timer white wire connects to white neutral (in absence of white neutral, connect Timer white wire to bare ground)
Timer green connects to bare ground wire
