Impres Battery Initialization; Automatic Impres Battery Calibration/Reconditioning; Manually Initiating Calibration/Reconditioning - Motorola PMPN4286 User Manual

IMPRES Battery Initialization

For full IMPRES functionality, a new IMPRES battery or IMPRES 2
battery must be initialized by the charger. The charger automatically
detects the new IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery, and automatically
starts Initialization. Initialization is the first IMPRES battery Calibration/
Reconditioning. This is a two-phase process. The first phase is Battery
Discharge, indicated by the Status LED in Steady Amber. The second
phase is full charge, eventually indicated by Steady Green LED. This
process may take up to 12 hours or more to complete, depending on
the state of charge and capacity of the battery. Interruption of either
phase delays Initialization until the next charging opportunity.

Automatic IMPRES Battery Calibration/Reconditioning

The IMPRES 2 charger automatically assesses the condition of an
IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery. Based on this condition, the charger
automatically calibrates/reconditions the battery. Interruption of either
the discharge phase or the full charge phase delays Calibration until
the next charging opportunity. Calibration/Reconditioning may be
enabled or disabled using Charger Setup Mode. When disabled and
the IMPRES battery requires Calibration/Reconditioning, the LED
indicates Alternating Amber/Green at battery insertion and after the
battery is charged.

Manually Initiating Calibration/Reconditioning

Though Calibration/Reconditioning is automatic, there may be
situations in which manual initiation is desired. To manually initiate
Calibration/Reconditioning, remove IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery from
the charger. Then, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the battery into the charger pocket.
2. Within 2.5 minutes, remove the battery from the charger pocket.
3. Within five seconds, reinsert the battery into the charger pocket.
Calibration/Reconditioning starts immediately, typically beginning with
Battery Discharge (Steady Amber). Calibration/Reconditioning is
complete only after full charge (Steady Green).
