microfilter or splitter. (This is required for users in the UK; other

users should contact their ISPs to verify. ISDN users do not need

a microfilter.) If you require a microfilter, you must install one for

each phone or fax that you use. To install a microfilter, plug it into

a phone jack that has ADSL service, then connect one end of the

provided phone cable to the microfilter’s DSL port.

Connect one end of the power adapter cord to the Power port and the
