Setting up Telstra cordless phone query

[bright.ton42]

It says in the manual ......

Using this product on a broadband line without an ADSL filter

may cause prolems with this product and your Broadband service. 

What's a filter? 

What does this mean? 

My present cordless Panasonic (now Kaput) worked perfectly with my 

Broadband.

Hi brighton, A filter is a small connector that the phone and your internet modem/router connects to. You may already have a filter splitter from where your old phone was connected. If not they are easy to get from a phone or electronics store. 🙂

Hi Kopenhagen, Thanks for your reply, so would that be the little thingo that says Phone on one side

and ADSL on the other?  That's what my old one went into .

I suppose there's no harm in trying ......   it's not going to blow up I don't think, but

I get nervous with manuals.  😮

the ACS 901E2  ADSL 2 filter imo is one of the best

Yes, that's a filter..  You usually get them when you sign up for an internet connection.

They just stop the internet connection dropping out when the phone rings and prevent the internet connection from causing bad reception on the phone
