2.2. What You Need
ADSL and telephone
service
ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper
pair, you need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone
signals.
Contact your Service Provider for more information.
WARNING In all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about splitter/filter installation !
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/
filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose.
Other splitter/filters may only be installed by qualified service personnel.

For this user account, it will provide you:
• A user name (logon ID)

Depending on the preferences of your Service Provider, the connection service suitable
for your connectivity to the Service Provider, hence the Internet will be installed by the
Installation CD-Rom delivered with your SpeedTouch™.
