Finally, while phone filters are not absolutely required, we

HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you install a filter on

EVERY phone that is sharing the DSL phone line.

Phone filters block the DSL frequencies so that someone

making a normal phone call won’t hear noise on the line.

Plug the phone or fax cord into the filter’s PHONE end and

plug the filter’s LINE end into the wall jack.
