Use only the SpeedTouch™610 variant which is appropriate for the DSL service deliv-
ered to your local premises.
Check at your Service Provider whether your SpeedTouch610 variant meets the DSL
service requirements.
The appropriate DSL service must be available at your local premises:
•
ADSL, SHDSL or VDSL service must be enabled on your phone line
•
In case of ADSL, both POTS or ISDN and ADSL service are simultaneously avail-
able from the same copper pair. Therefore, you need a central splitter or distrib-
uted filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Always contact your Service Provider for splitter/filter installation !
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/
filters yourself if they have been designed to be installed by unqualified personnel. Other
splitter/filters may only be installed by qualified service personnel.
