The IMPRES Adaptive Multi-Unit Charger operates both as:
• a Charger with all Motorola authorized batteries, and
• a Reconditioner with Motorola authorized IMPRES batteries.
Charging the Batteries
The charger pockets are designed to accept several different
battery shapes and sizes, so it is important to make certain
that a radio with a battery attached or a 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.
New batteries (never used before) prematurely indicate a full
charge in some cases ( STEADY GREEN indication)
To ensure optimum performance, Motorola recommends all new
batteries be left in the charger 14 to 16 hours prior to initial use.
1. Once a battery or radio with a battery is properly inserted into a
charger pocket, 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 a STEADY RED is dependent upon the
charge remaining in 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 indicators. This indicates a 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 the battery voltage is out of range for charging.
Charging resumes when theses 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
