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.

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.
