Additional telephones on the modem phone line
The Elite Modem allows you to hook-up your computer and telephone to the 
same line, providing simultaneous voice service with high-speed data service. 
Telephones or answering devices connected directly to the Elite Modem do not 
require external telephone filters. The Elite Modem has a built-in voiceband 
filter on the telephone connection, so that the signal noise of the data traffic 
does not interfere with voice conversations. 
However, if you have additional phones (on different jacks) connected to the 
same line as the modem (extension phones, etc.), you may need an external 
filter. 
Test all additional lines for correct operation (no data noise) while the Elite 
Modem is running and in service. If you hear noise interference while using an 
extension phone, you may need to install a telephone filter between that phone 
and its wall jack. Test all extension telephones for noise interference and install 
filters as needed using the task instructions on the following pages.
You can order voiceband filters from the Elite Modem product distributor or 
service provider.
