Plan the location of your Paragon 400 Plus
Situate your Paragon 400 Plus close enough to both the phone and mains power sockets so that the cables will reach.
Your Paragon 400 Plus should be kept free of dust, moisture, high temperature, vibration and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not stand it on carpets or other sur faces which generate fibres or place it in locations which prevent the free flow of air over its surfaces.
