Manually Terminating the Reconditioning Process

At any time during the reconditioning process of a Motorola IMPRES
battery (Steady Orange indication), reconditioning may be terminated
by removing and reinserting the battery back into the charger 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. The charger will attempt to recondition the
battery at the next battery insertion.

Manually Initiating the Reconditioning Process

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 Orange. This forces
the charger to recondition and automatically recharge the battery. This
is a useful feature to have when IMPRES batteries have been in
storage for several months or longer. Two or three manual recondition
cycles may be required to rejuvenate the batteries, due to long term
storage conditions.

Troubleshooting

The IMPRES Adaptive Charger incorporates the features of:
• A universal input power supply
• A constant current rapid charger
• A 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.
During the charging process, radio operation may result in minimally
reduced radio performance and extended battery charge time.
During the reconditioning process, the battery becomes fully
discharged. As a result, the radio may shut down during reconditioning
mode.
When troubleshooting, always observe the color of the LED.
