Can I plug my DisplayKEY cradle or my Supra Modem cradle into the phone lines at my office?

It depends.  The cradle is an analog device just like most fax machines and modems and will not work on digital lines.  If you are unsure what type of phone line you have, please contact your telephone provider.  Most office phone systems are digital and may be damaged if the cradle is used.  Most phone systems do, however, have the capability of allowing analog devices such as fax machines to be used.

Can I update my Key using a DSL line?

You can update your Key using a DSL line, if a DSL filter is used.  Most DSL subscribers are given a DSL filter when their DSL line is installed so they can utilize fax machines and existing analog phones.  These DSL filters can be purchased for $10.00 - $20.00 from businesses such as Radio Shack.  Your provider will also be able to tell you if the line is already filtered.

Can I use my telephone if my cradle is plugged into my phone line?
