Protection against
liquids & heat
1.2
The Étude is not
protected against liquids
of any kind. Never place
containers of liquid on Étude.
Never allow Étude to come
into contact with moisture or
liquids; doing so could result in
electrocution or damage to the
Étude’s internal circuitry.
Be aware that liquids, including
water that has dried, can leave
minerals that can aect the
PCB and other components,
which could eventually lead to
oxidisation and short-circuiting.
If the Étude comes into contact
with moisture or liquids,
immediately disconnect from
the mains power supply, and
connected equipment, and
contact Chord Electronics for
further advice.
The Étude has internal
thermal protection which
will increase the speed
of the cooling fans if excessive
temperatures are being reached.
Should this occur then check that
Étude has adequate ventilation
and/or reduce the volume level
until Étude has cooled and the
fans slowed.
Never operate the Étude near
sources of heat or naked flames
as this will decrease the lifespan
of the internal components. It is
advised that you do not operate
the Étude in an area of direct
sunlight or on top of significant
heat- producing devices.
Please be aware that it is entirely
normal for the Étude to become
warm during use, particularly
within a stacked configuration.
If you are concerned about the
temperatures, please switch
the device o and consider a
dierent placement.
