# Operation with Battery Pack

- Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion rechargeable battery of your radio.

Note: The use of rechargeable batteries unsuitable for your radio can lead to malfunctions or damage to the radio.

The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". A protective circuit switches the radio off when the rechargeable battery is drained.

- Do not switch the radio back on after it has been switched off by the protective circuit. This can damage the battery.
