If there's static on the line
DSL broadband Internet service can
cause static on telephones, but a
DSL
filter
usually solves any problems. To
get a DSL filter, call your DSL provider
or look in any electronics store.
To install the filter, plug the DSL filter
into the wall jack and then plug your
phone into the filter. Make a test call
to see if the noise is gone.

an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the
total RENs, contact the telephone provider. The REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:6NYTE##BXXXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
