TC Electronic BH550, Manual

Important safety instructions

BH550 / BH800 English Manual (2014-10-01) 2

 The lightning flash with an arrowhead 

symbol within an equilateral triangle is in-
tended to alert the user to the presence 
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within 
the product’s enclosure that may be of 
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk 
of electric shock to persons.

 The exclamation point within an equilat-

eral triangle is intended to alert the user to 
the presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in 
the literature accompanying the product.

3.  Heed all warnings.

4.  Follow all instructions.

5.  Do not use this device near water.

6.  Clean only with dry cloth.

7.  Do not block any ventilation openings. In-

stall in accordance with the manufacturer’s 
instructions.

8.  Do not install near heat sources such as ra-

diators, heat registers, stoves, or other appa-
ratus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the po-

larized or grounding-type plug. A polarized 
plug has two blades with one wider than the 

other. A grounding type plug has two blades 
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade 
or the third prong are provided for your safe-
ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your 
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement 
of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on 

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit 
from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified 

by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, 

bracket, or table specified by the man-
ufacturer, or sold with the device. When a 
cart is used, use caution when moving the 
cart/device combination to avoid injury from 
tip-over.

13. Unplug this device during lightning storms or 

when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel. Servicing is required when the de-
vice has been damaged in any way, such as 
power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 
has been spilled or objects have fallen into 
the device, the device has been exposed to 
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, 
or has been dropped.
