PREPARING YOUR RADIO FOR USE
Automatic Reconditioning of the Battery :
When the IMPRES battery is properly inserted
into the charger, the charger determines if it is
appropriate to recondition the battery.
If the battery needs reconditioning, the charger
automatically indicates a
STEADY YELLOW .
This process may take
8 hours or more
to
complete, depending upon the state of charge
and capacity rating of the battery when inserted.
NOTE:
It important that the battery be
allowed to complete the recondition/recharge
process for it to be effective. Leave the
battery in the charger until the charger
indicates a STEADY GREEN.
NOTE:
Toward the end of the rapid charge cycle
(
STEADY RED indication), the battery voltage
exceeds the normal operating voltage of the radio.
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.
During the reconditioning process, the battery
becomes fully discharged. As a result, the radio
may not function during reconditioning mode.
