Once the IMPRES battery is properly seated into the pocket, the
charger indicator illuminates, indicating the charger has recognized the
presence of the battery. Refer to the charging indicators in Table 1.
INITIALIZATION
In order for the features of Motorola IMPRES batteries and the
Adaptive Charging System to be fully available, the data contained in
Motorola IMPRES batteries must be initialized by the charger the first
time it is charged. This process is indicated by a
STEADY ORANGE
light on the charger indicator (the same as if the battery were
reconditioning). The process is automatic, includes an initial
reconditioning of the battery, and begins charging upon completion of
Table 1. IMPRES Battery Charging Indicators
Charge Indicator

Battery has completed rapid charge (>90% available
capacity). Battery is in Top-Off charge (Trickle charge).
Steady Green

temperature is too low or too high to allow charging.
When this condition is corrected, the battery will
automatically begin charging.)
Blinking Red

Steady Orange
(This feature applies to IMPRES batteries only)
Battery is in recondition or initialization mode. The length
of time the charger remains in this mode depends upon
the state of charge remaining in the battery when
inserted. (Fully charged batteries require more time to
recondition –8 to 12 hours or more– than fully
discharged batteries.)

Battery continues to be usable, but may be nearing the
end of its rated service life.
