Important Safety Instructions
This document contains important safety and operating instructions. Please read these instructions
carefully and save them for future reference.
Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, the
battery, and the radio using the battery.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of damage to the power cord, pull the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting power cord from the AC outlet or the charger.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must
be used, ensure that the cord size is 18 AWG for lengths of up to 6.5 feet (2 m), and 16 AWG for
lengths up to 9.8 feet (3 m).
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, do not operate the charger if it is broken or
damaged in any way. Take it to a qualified Motorola Solutions service representative.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the charger. It is not repairable and
replacement parts are not available.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger power adapter from the AC outlet before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the rechargeable authorized batteries. Other batteries may
explode, causing personal injury and damage.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, only use the accessories recommended by
Motorola Solutions.
• Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by Motorola Solutions, could
void the authority of the user to operate this equipment.

Class B Digital Device
NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Operating Guidelines
The followings are the operating guidelines for the charger.
• This equipment is not suitable for outdoor use. Use only in dry locations and conditions.
• Maximum ambient temperature around the charger must not exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
• Recommended to turn off the radio while charging, unless the radio is transmitting data wirelessly
(through Wi-Fi).
• Connect the charger to an AC outlet using only a Motorola Solutions Authorized Power Supply. See
Motorola Solutions Authorized Power Supplies on page 12.
• The AC outlet to which the power supply is connected must be nearby and easily accessible.
• Ensure that the power supply cord connected to the charger is not easily stepped on, tripped over,
or subjected to water, damage, or stress.
• Connect the power supply only to an appropriately fused and wired AC outlet with the correct
voltage, as specified on the product.
• Disconnect from the line voltage by removing the power supply from the AC outlet.
• Connect not more than the appropriate number of charger power supplies to a 15A and 20A circuit,
as limited by any certified power strip used.

IMPRES Batteries and Chargers
The IMPRES™ 2 energy solution is an advanced energy system developed by Motorola Solutions. The
system includes:
• IMPRES battery
• IMPRES adaptive charger
• IMPRES radio
Features and Benefits
Charging IMPRES/IMPRES 2 batteries using an IMPRES 2 Adaptive Charger, which periodically
calibrates and reconditions the battery, yields the following benefits:
• Maximize battery life by significantly reducing heat during the trickle and post-charge cycles.
• Determines the current battery status, giving the radio user an indication of effective use time.
• Provide higher-rate IMPRES/IMPRES 2 Lithium-Ion battery charging.
• Automatically performs calibration and reconditioning when needed.
• Minimizes IMPRES/IMPRES 2 battery heating, regardless of how long the battery is left in the
charger pocket.
• Periodically charges a battery stored in the charger, maintaining a high state of readiness for the
user.
• Eliminates Nickel battery memory effect, eliminating the need to purchase special equipment or
train personnel in tasks to maintain battery life cycle.
Using this unique patented system, there is no requirement to track and record IMPRES 2 battery,
conduct manual calibration and reconditioning, or remove batteries from chargers after charging
completion.
1.1
Charging Radios and Batteries
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger System is a fully automated system. The charger pockets
accommodate either a radio with an attached IMPRES or an IMPRES battery alone. Batteries charge
best at room temperature.
Prerequisites:Note that the radio can only be turned on when the radio is transmitting data wirelessly.
Otherwise, turn off the radio.
Procedure:
1Plug the charger end of the power supply cord into the DC inlet (1) at the back of the charger.

2Plug the wall power adapter into the appropriate Alternating Current (AC) outlet.
A successful power-up sequence is indicated by a single green blink on the charger indicator.
Refer to the IMPRES Battery Charging Indicators on page 9.
3Insert an IMPRES battery, or a radio with an IMPRES battery into the charger pocket.
aAlign the battery contacts with the charger contacts.
bPress the battery into the pocket, ensuring complete contact.
Once the IMPRES battery is properly seated into the pocket, the charger indicator illuminates,
indicating the charger has recognized the presence of the battery.
4To remove a radio or IMPRES battery from the charger, pull straight up until the battery
completely clears the charger housing.

1.3
IMPRES Battery Initialization
For a full IMPRES functionality, a new IMPRES battery must be initialized by the charger.
The charger automatically detects the new IMPRES battery, and automatically starts initialization.
Initialization is the first calibration and reconditioning of an IMPRES battery.
Phases of Battery Initialization
The first phase is a battery discharge, indicated by a steady amber LED. The second phase is a full
charge, indicated by a steady green LED. Refer to IMPRES Battery Charging Indicators on page 9.
NOTICE: This process may take up to 12 hours or more to complete, depending on the state of
charge and capacity of the battery. Interruption of either phase delays initialization until the next
charging opportunity.
1.4
IMPRES Pocket-to-Pocket
When charging IMPRES batteries, the IMPRES charger records charging information in the battery
memory.
Charging can resume if the user remove IMPRES battery from one IMPRES charger pocket and within
30 minutes, insert it into the same or a different IMPRES charger pocket.
1.5
Automatic IMPRES Calibration and Recondition
The IMPRES charger automatically assesses the condition of an IMPRES battery.
Based on the condition, the charger automatically calibrates and reconditions the battery. Interruption
of either the discharge phase or the full charge phase delays calibration until the next charging
opportunity.
NOTICE: The IMPRES battery must be outside from the IMPRES charger pocket for more than
30 minutes for an automatic calibration and recondition.
