Telephone base installation

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line)
through your telephone line(s), you must install a DSL filter between each
telephone line cord and telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and
caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service
provider for more information about DSL filters.
Option 1: If you have a 2-line wall jack, install the telephone base, as
shown below.
