Power Supply

4.3 Microfilters
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, computer modem or
any similar conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.
Install a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax machine
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. Microfilters are not required on the telephone devices attached to the voice over IP (VoIP) ports.
