Manually Terminating the Reconditioning Process

At any time during the reconditioning process of a Motorola IMPRES
battery (STEADY YELLOW 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 YELLOW. 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.
