base. Plug the other end of the handset coiled cord into the

telephone base as shown below. If you subscribe to high-
speed internet service (Digital Subscriber Line - DSL) through
your telephone line, you must have a DSL filter between
the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter
will prevent noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more
