There are additional advantages when charging an IMPRES 2
Lithium-ion battery with an IMPRES 2 Adaptive Charger:
• Higher-rate IMPRES 2 Lithium-ion battery charging.
• Faster charging.
• Extended life cycle.
This feature combination is unique in a desktop charger. Therefore,
operation of the radio with a battery attached while in the charger is not
recommended.
During the charging process, radio operation may result in minimally
reduced radio performance and extended battery charge time.
During Calibration / Reconditioning, the battery is fully discharged
before being fully charged. As a result, the radio may shut down during
the discharge phase.

IMPRES 2 and IMPRES Batteries and Chargers
Features and Benefits
The IMPRES energy solution is an advanced Tri-Chemistry energy
system developed by Motorola Solutions. This system includes:
1. IMPRES Batteries
2. IMPRES Adaptive Charger
3. IMPRES Radios
Charging IMPRES batteries using an IMPRES Adaptive Charger, with
the charger periodically Calibrating / Reconditioning the battery, yields
the following benefits:
• Extends battery life cycle.
• Measures battery capacity, giving the Radio user an indication of
effective use time.
• Determines the current battery state of charge, giving the Radio user
an indication of effective use time.
• Monitors the IMPRES battery usage pattern.
• Updates pattern information stored in the IMPRES battery.
• Automatically performs Calibration / Reconditioning only as needed.
• Minimizes IMPRES battery heating, regardless of how long the
battery is left in the pocket.
• Periodically “tops off” a battery stored in the charger pocket,
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 need to track and
record IMPRES battery use, conduct manual Calibration /
Reconditioning, or remove batteries from chargers following
completion of charge.

English
IMPRES Battery Initialization
For full IMPRES functionality, a new IMPRES battery or
IMPRES 2 battery must be initialized by the charger. The charger
automatically detects the new IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery, and
automatically starts Initialization. Initialization is the first IMPRES
battery Calibration / Reconditioning. This is a two-phase process. The
first phase is Battery Discharge, indicated by the Status LED in Steady
Amber. The second phase is full charge, eventually indicated by
Steady Green LED. 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.
Automatic IMPRES Battery Calibration / Reconditioning
The IMPRES 2 charger automatically assesses the condition of an
IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery. Based on this condition, the charger
automatically calibrates / reconditions the battery. Interruption of either
the discharge phase or the full charge phase delays Calibration until
the next charging opportunity.
Calibration / Reconditioning may be enabled or disabled using Charger
Setup Mode. When disabled and the IMPRES battery requires
Calibration / Reconditioning, the LED will indicate Alternating Amber /
Green at battery insertion and after the battery is charged.
Manually Initiating Calibration / Reconditioning
Though Calibration / Reconditioning is automatic, there may be
situations in which manual initiation is desired. To manually initiate
Calibration / Reconditioning, remove IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery
from the charger. Then, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the battery into the charger pocket.
2. Within 2-1/2 minutes, remove the battery from the charger pocket.
3. Within 5 seconds, reinsert the battery into the charger pocket.
Calibration / Reconditioning starts immediately, typically beginning with
Battery Discharge (Steady Amber). Calibration / Reconditioning is
complete only after full charge (Steady Green).
MN003509A01.book Page 10 Wednesday, January 6, 2021 4:04 PM

English
Manually Terminating Calibration / Reconditioning
At any time during IMPRES or IMPRES 2 battery discharge (Steady
Amber), Calibration / Reconditioning may be terminated. Perform the
following steps:
1. Remove the battery from the charger pocket.
2. Within 5 seconds, reinsert the battery into the charger pocket.
Battery discharge immediately terminates, and Normal battery
charging starts. The LED indicates Charge Status.
End-of-Service-Life Indication
As batteries are used, normal wear reduces available capacity.
At the successful completion of Calibration / Reconditioning, IMPRES
chargers compare IMPRES battery capacity to the battery Rated
Capacity. When the capacity is at a very low value, the IMPRES battery
may be nearing its End of Service. The IMPRES battery remains
usable. In some scenarios, it may be desirable to deploy the battery to
someone who does not require large battery capacity to complete a
work shift.
Radio or Battery Charging Procedure
Batteries charge best at room temperature. Batteries may be attached
to a radio or stand-alone.
1. Place the Multi-Unit charger on a flat surface.
2. Firmly insert the power supply into the charger DC Inlet Socket at
the back of the charger.
3. Plug the power supply power cord into a matching power outlet.
4. On the IMPRES 2 Adaptive Multi-Unit Charger System, each
pocket Status LED will flash Green for one second and
“IMPRES 2 CHARGER” will be displayed upon successful
power-up. If the Status LED’s do not flash, and no message is
displayed, check power cord connections.
5. Insert the radio with battery or stand-alone battery into an available
pocket.

English
6. When the radio or stand-alone battery is properly seated in the
pocket:
• On the IMPRES 2 Adaptive System, charging status will be
indicated by the associated pocket Status LED. The Display of
IMPRES 2 charger provides charging status associated with
Pocket #1 only.
• When charging the radio, charging status will be indicated by the
radio display indicator, and the LED charging indicator on the
radio.
7. The radio or stand-alone battery is ready for use when the Charging
status is Steady Green.
8. While in the charger, the radio may be turned ON only when the
Communications Module is detached from the charger. Otherwise,
turn OFF the radio.
Note: Grip the radio body when inserting, or removing the radio from
the charger. Avoid pulling the radio antenna when removing the radio.
