Charging The Battery - Motorola IMPRES Handbuch

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.

Charging the Battery

The charger pocket is designed for different battery shapes and
sizes. Ensure that a radio with a battery attached or battery alone
is inserted correctly.
If a radio with a battery attached or battery alone is inserted
incorrectly, the indicator will not illuminate, indicating that the
battery is not being charged.
In some cases, new batteries might indicate a STEADY GREEN
on the charger indicator.
To ensure optimum performance, Motorola recommends all new batteries be left in
the charger until the charger indicator displays a STEADY GREEN.
1. Once a battery or a radio with a battery is properly inserted into the charger, the
charger begins to rapid charge the battery and is indicated by a STEADY RED on
the charger indicator. The length of time the charger indicates STEADY RED
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
2. Completion of rapid charge (>90% available capacity) is indicated by a
FLASHING GREEN on the charger indicator. This indicates the Top-Off charge
(trickle charge) and requires approximately 1 hour.
3. Completion of Top-Off charge is indicated by a STEADY GREEN on the charger
indicator. This indicates the battery is fully charged.
4. Other indications that may appear on the charger indicator while charging are:
• FLASHING YELLOW – indicates that either the battery temperature or
battery voltage is out of range for charging. Charging resumes when these
conditions have been corrected.
• FLASHING RED AND GREEN – indicates that the battery may be
approaching the end of its rated service life. While this battery is fully
charged, its charging capacity has been reduced by usage and may not
adequately support heavier applications. This is available only when used
with Motorola IMPRES batteries. This is not a fault indication, but a
notification to the user that the battery may soon no longer be able to yield
expected service and may need to be replaced.
