The IMPRES Adaptive Charger is unique in that it has the abil-
ity, when used with Motorola IMPRES batteries, to automati-
cally determine the need of the battery 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 bat-
tery, and begins charging upon completion of this process. This pro-
cess requires time to initialize the battery, so the battery should be left
in the charger overnight on the initial insertion.
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger operates both as:
• a Charger with all Motorola authorized batteries, and
• a Reconditioner with Motorola authorized IMPRES batteries.
