2.) Connect the other end of the phone cable to the wall jack with ADSL service.
2. Connect the power adapter to the Modem and to the electrical outlet. (See Figure 3-4.)

NOTE:
A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each
phone and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT:
For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to
only place the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and
not
between the
Modem and the wall jack or your ADSL will not connect.
For countries that do
not
have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.) the microfilter has to be used between the modem
and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
