connecting a phone to the
adapter
Connect a telephone to the phone port of the
adapter as illustrated in the cabling diagram
shown previously.

includes a DSL connection, you must insert the
microfilter that came with your DSL modem into the
phone port of the adapter, then insert the telephone
handset into the microfilter’s phone port. Use of the
microfilter prevents distortion of the telephone signal
by the DSL modem.
