started
Protection mode
This product is equipped with an advanced protection
system for both the amplifier's and your own safety. These
protection features should only kick in if you operate this
product under extreme conditions.
Be sure not to cover the BH250 / BG250-208 cooling
grid! Insufficient ventilation may cause the amplifier's
temperature to increase to critical values.
The BH250 / BG250-208 is equipped with an intelligent
protection system, ensuring that the amp does not
suffer or malfunction if operated wrongly or in extreme
environments. When the amplifier switches to Protection
mode, the speaker output is muted, and the TUNER LEDs
start flashing in pairs of two.
Protection mode is invoked...
• if a short circuit occurs (on speaker outputs).
• if the amplifier is used in an environment that is
too hot.
• if proper ventilation is not ensured.
• if the combined impedance of the internal speaker and
an attached speaker is below 4 Ohms.
In Protection mode, the speaker outputs are shut off to
prevent speaker damage. However, the balanced output
still passes audio.
How to proceed in Protection mode
1. If the amplifier does not automatically recover
from Protection mode and feels hot, try turning
off the amplifier for a minute to let it cool. Ensure
sufficient ventilation.
2. Ensure that your speaker cable is not defective, as
such a defect could cause a short circuit.
3. Turn on the amplifier again.
If these steps do not solve the problem and the Tuner LEDs
continue flashing, you will have to send the amplifier to a
qualified service center for inspection.

Transferring TonePrints to your device
There are two ways of transferring TonePrints to your
TonePrint-enabled TC device.
1. If you have a smartphone, download the free Tone-
Print app from TC's website. Once downloaded and
installed, this app allows you to choose from the
complete TonePrint library.
• To transfer a TonePrint to your device, connect your
instrument to your TC device using a regular jack
cable, launch the app on your smartphone and follow
on-screen instructions. Transferring a Tone- Print
this way only takes a few seconds.
2. You can also use your computer to download Tone-
Prints from tcelectronic.com/bg250/toneprints/
• Connect your computer to your TonePrint-enabled TC
device using a USB cable.
• Once you have downloaded a TonePrint, open the
downloaded file on your computer and follow
onscreen instructions.
Please note that your BH250/BG250-208 has only
one TonePrint knob, but the software contains
two TonePrint slots. These two TonePrint slots
can also be controlled with the Switch-3 accessory
footswitch. Select the TonePrint slot where you want to
store a TonePrint before transferring the new TonePrint.
Once a TonePrint has been transferred to your TC device,
it will remain in memory, even when you switch the
device off.
Deactivating TonePrint
To switch off TonePrint, either...
• turn the knob of the currently active TonePrint slot
fully counterclockwise or
• use a footswitch connected to the PEDAL jack.
