Installing the In-Line Microfilter

To install the EZ-DSL in-line microfilter:

    1. Identify all home telephones plugged in and in service. Install an EZ-DSL microfilter at each home telephone.

    2. Unplug the telephone from the wall. Plug the telephone cord into the end of the EZ-DSL microfilter marked PHONE.

    3. Using the 3-inch telephone cord provided, plug one end of the cord into the microfilter marked WALL. Plug the other end of the cord into the telephone wall receptacle.
