Connecting the Phone Filters

Phone filters separate the DSL signal from the voice signal on the phone line to allow the user to talk on the phone and be online at the same time. All devices using the same phone line (the same phone number) as the DSL connection require phone filters, including telephones, fax machines, caller ID boxes, and answering machines.

To install a phone filter:

1.Unplug the device (telephone, answering machine, etc.) from the phone jack.

Caution: DO NOT unplug the black DSL Line from the phone jack near your computer.

2.Open the Clear Bag and remove the phone filters. The bag should contain four small phone filters and one wall-mount phone filter.

If a wall-mount telephone needs a phone filter, use the wall mount phone filter. Take the telephone off of the wall and install the wall-mount phone filter in the phone jack, securing it with the screws (see the figure on the next page, after Step 3). For other devices that need phone filters, use the small phone filters.
