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 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.

Removing a Radio or Battery from the Charger

Use two hands to remove a radio or battery from the charger pocket – one hand to
hold and support the charger, and the other hand to remove the radio or battery.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The IMPRES Adaptive Charger incorporates the features of:
• a universal input (100 V ac-240 V ac, 50/60 Hz) power supply
• a constant current rapid charger,
• an interrupted current (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.
While in the charger, radio operation may result in minimally reduced radio
performance and extended battery charge time.
Additionally, the conditioning charge feature of this system creates an audible
"ticking" sound in the receiving radio during the rapid and trickle charge modes of
operation. This sound is caused by periodic discharge pulses to the battery. Should
this sound be objectionable to the user, changing the switch position located on the
bottom of the charger from position "A" to position "B" reduces the frequency of the
discharge pulses. This has a minimal impact on the effectiveness of the charger.
Towards the end of the rapid charge cycle (STEADY RED indication), the battery
voltage exceeds the normal operating voltage of the radio. The voltage returns to a
normal level following the rapid charge mode or when the battery is removed from
the charger.
If the radio is turned on while the charger is in rapid charge mode, the radio
becomes temporarily inoperable. This condition can be cleared by removing the
radio from the charger and turning the radio off and on again.
