The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a
minimum of 16 hours to ensure optimum capacity and performance.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
Battery Charger
To charge the battery, place the battery, with or without the radio, in a Motorola-approved charger. The charger’s LED
indicates the charging progress; see your charger’s user guide.
Preparing Your Radio for Use
Charging the Battery
To avoid a possible explosion: until side latches click into place.
• DO NOT replace the battery in any area
labeled “hazardous atmosphere”.
• DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.

Preparing Your Radio - Charging the IMPRES Battery
IMPRES Adaptive Charger
•Monitors the usage pattern of the IMPRES battery
and,
•Stores that information in the IMPRES battery,
then
•Performs a recondition cycle only when needed.
•Will not overheat the battery regardless of how long
it is left in the charger.
•Charger monitors the battery and automatically
“tops off” the battery, as required.
NOTE:
•The battery must be charged before use.
•Memory effect is a phenomenon that causes a loss in battery capacity or
voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or long-term overcharging.
•This memory effect has been greatly reduced in your batteries through the
use of new cell technology.
•It is still recommended that you discharge your battery as much as possible
before recharging it.
•Recharging after each shift is good standard practice.
•When charging a battery that is attached to your radio, turn the radio off to
ensure a full charge.

Charge Indicator Description
Single Flash Green Charger has successfully powered up.
Steady Red Battery is in rapid charge mode.
Flashing Green Battery has completed rapid charge (>90% available capacity).
Battery is in Top-Off charge (Trickle Charge) and requires approximately 1 hour.
Steady Green Battery has completed charging and is fully charged.
Flashing Yellow Battery is recognized by charger but is waiting to charge.
(Either the battery voltage is too low or the battery temperature is too low or too
high to allow charging. When this condition is corrected, the battery will begin
charging).
Flashing Red Battery is un-chargeable or not making proper contact.
Steady Yellow Battery is in recondition mode. The length of time the charger remains in this
mode is dependent upon the state of charge remaining in the battery when
inserted. (Fully charged batteries require more time to recondition–8 hours or
more–than fully discharged batteries.)
Flashing Red & Green Battery may be approaching the end of its rated service life. This is not a fault
indication, merely a notification to the user that the battery may soon no longer be
able to yield expected service and may need to be replaced.

Preparing Your Radio - Charging the IMPRES Battery
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.
