Install a filter on all other phones and phone devices
Why do I need a filter on all my other phones and phone devices?
Converting your regular phone line into a high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) can
cause audible noise (high pitched tones and static) when you talk on the phone. You
need to install a filter on every telephone or device that shares the same phone number as
your DSL line to eliminate this noise.

Remember! Don’t install a filter on the data cable that you are
connecting to your DSL modem.
