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.
