Manually Terminating the Reconditioning Process

At any time during the reconditioning process of a Motorola IMPRES battery
(STEADY YELLOW indication), reconditioning may be terminated by removing and
reinserting the battery within 5 seconds. This causes the charger to terminate the
reconditioning process and begin the charging process. The charger indicator
changes to a STEADY RED.

Removing a Radio or Battery from the Charger

To remove a radio or a battery from the charger pocket, place one hand on the
charger for support and remove the radio or battery with the other hand.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The IMPRES Adaptive Charger incorporates the features of:
• a constant current rapid charger,
• an interrupted current (negative pulse) conditioning charger,
• a reconditioning unit.
The combination of the features listed above are unique in a desktop charger.
Therefore, operation of the radio with a battery attached while in the charger is not
recommended.
While in the charger, radio operation may result in minimally reduced radio
performance and extended battery charge time.
Towards the end of the rapid charge cycle (STEADY RED indication), the battery
voltage exceeds the normal operating voltage of the radio. The voltage returns to a
normal level following the rapid charge mode or when the battery is removed from
the charger.
If the radio is turned on while the charger is in rapid charge mode, the radio
becomes temporarily inoperable. This condition can be cleared by removing the
radio from the charger and turning the radio off and on again.
During the reconditioning process, the battery becomes fully discharged. As a
result, the radio may not function during reconditioning mode.
In some cases, such as use near fluorescent lighting or electric motors, a slight
hum may be noticed in the receiving radio. If this occurs, moving the charger or
repositioning the power cord should eliminate the hum.
