ATTENTION
Some commercial phone systems use digital lines that may damage the mailstation 2™. Like the mailstation 2™, most fax machines, credit card readers and modems also require analog lines.

The following are usually analog lines:
•Fax lines
•Lines used by modems or credit card readers
•Residential phone lines
If you are using a DSL line you should use a DSL filter obtained from your DSL provider.
NOTE:For printing postage, the mailstation 2™ does not have to be connected to a phone line.However,if you add funds frequently, we recommend you keep it connected to an analog phone line.
