Plug your phone into the V3’s PHONE jack.
If you have a cordless phone with one or more handsets, plug
the
base station
into the V3’s
PHONE
jack.
Note:
If RJ-11 phone jacks are not used in your country, you
will need a phone adapter. Plug the adapter into the V3’s
PHONE

Connect the V3 to the traditional telephone network.
Plug one end of the V3’s phone cord into the V3’s
TELCO
jack and the other end into a telephone jack where you would
normally plug in a standard telephone. If you are using DSL,
this jack should have a DSL phone filter installed on it. Phone
filters block the DSL frequencies so that someone making a
normal phone call won’t hear noise on the line. They also keep
phone conversations from interfering with DSL performance.
If you do not have a DSL phone filter, they are available at
most retail stores that sell consumer electronics.

modem and plug the other end into the

If
y
our cable or DSL modem is already connected to your PC
with an Ethernet cable, leave the cable plugged into the cable
or DSL modem. Then, unplug the other end from the PC and
plug the end you just unplugged into the V3’s
WAN
port.
