or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone rewiring. Just unplug
the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a microfilter, next snap in the telephone device.
You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer, or contact the original provider of your DSL
equipment.
