Manually Reconditioning The Battery; Automatically Reconditioning The Battery - Motorola IMPRES Manual

• FLASHING RED – indicates that the battery is unchargeable. This could be
the result of a loss of contact between the battery and the charger.
Charging resumes when the condition causing this indication is corrected.
Motorola Smart batteries have an internal memory device that is read by the
Motorola IMPRES Adaptive Charger. If an IMPRES battery is charged for more
than 2-1/2 minutes, the IMPRES Adaptive Charger retains the serial number of the
IMPRES battery. The IMPRES battery may be removed from the charger for up to
30 minutes. Once the battery is reinserted back into the charger, it will resume the
charging process from that point from when the battery was first removed.

Manually Reconditioning the Battery

Within 2-1/2 minutes of the initial insertion of an IMPRES battery (STEADY RED
indication), remove and reinsert the battery within 5 seconds to manually force
reconditioning to occur. The charger indicator changes from a STEADY RED to a
STEADY YELLOW. This forces the charger to recondition and automatically
recharge the battery.
Excessive use of this feature reduces the cycle life of the battery.

Automatically Reconditioning the Battery

The Motorola IMPRES Adaptive Charger, when used in conjunction with a Motorola
IMPRES battery, has the ability to determine when it is appropriate to recondition
the battery.
When an IMPRES battery is properly inserted into the charger, the charger
determines if it is appropriate to recondition the battery. If the battery needs
reconditioning, the charger automatically indicates a STEADY YELLOW. This
process may take up to 8 hours or more to complete, depending upon the state of
charge and capacity rating of the battery when it is inserted.
It is important to note, for this process to be effective, the battery must be
allowed to complete the recondition/recharge process. Leave the battery in
the charger until the charger indicates a STEADY GREEN.
At the completion of the recondition cycle, the charger automatically recharges the
battery.
