Using Phone Filters

You should use a filter with each device—phone, fax machine, analog modem, etc.—that is sharing the DSL-enabled line, because this prevents the device from receiving noise when the DSL modem is on. For all other devices on the DSL-enabled line, plug the device’s phone cord into the filter’s PHONE end, and plug the filter’s LINE end into the wall jack. Some X5 models come with filters, and more can be purchased from a retailer or service provider.

Now that your modem is installed and appropriate filters are attached, you’re done. Enjoy using the X5.
