The IMPRES Adaptive Multi-Unit Charger is unique in that it
has the ability, when used with Motorola IMPRES batteries, to
automatically determine the need of the batteries to be
reconditioned.
In order for the features of Motorola Smart batteries and the Adaptive
Charging System to be fully available, the data contained in Motorola
Smart batteries must be initialized by the charger the first time it is
charged. This process is indicated by a STEADY YELLOW on the
charger indicator (the same as though the battery were reconditioning).
The process is automatic, includes an initial reconditioning of the
battery, and begins charging upon completion of this process. This
process requires time to initialize the battery, so the battery should be
left in the charger overnight on the initial insertion.
The IMPRES Adaptive Multi-Unit Charger operates both as:
• a Charger with all Motorola authorized batteries, and
