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.
Ta ke 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.
