Step 3: Install DSL Filters
DSL filters reduce noise interference between your phone calls and your DSL signal.*
To plug a phone into the jack used by your DSL modem:
In Step 2, you installed a dual-jack DSL filter. If you want to use a phone in this location, insert its phone cord into the black side of the dual-jack DSL filter (labeled Phone). See Fig. A. You can also plug a phone into the PHONE port of the modem. First plug a filter into the PHONE port, then plug a phone cord into the filter.
| 1 | Unplug the phone cord from the phone jack. Insert one of the DSL filters, included in the Welcome Kit, into the phone jack. |
| 2 | Insert a DSL filter into the phone jack. |
| 3 | Plug the phone cord into the DSL filter (see Fig. B). |
| 4 | Check for a dial tone. |
| 5 | Repeat steps for each phone or other device in your home (like fax machines and TiVo® devices).
