Installing a telephone directly before the splitter may lead to failure of connection 
between the device and the central office, or failure of Internet access, or slow 
connection speed. If you really need to add a telephone set before the splitter, 
you must add a microfilter before a telephone set. Do not connect several 
telephones before the splitter or connect several telephones with the microfilter.
