NOTES:
Power adapter - Input: 117V AC, 60 Hz / Output: 6V AC, 350 mA.
If the message window is off, make sure the power adapter is securely connected to both the
answering system and an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital subscriber line) through your telephone
line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the telephone wall jack. The
filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL
service provider for more information about DSL filters.
