| capacity). Battery is in |
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 tem- |
| perature is too low or to high to allow charging. When |
| this condition is corrected, the battery will begin charg- |
| ing.) |
Flashing Red | Battery is unchargeable or not making proper contact. |
Steady Yellow | (This feature is for Smart batteries only) |
| 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 |

NOTE
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger is unique in that it has the abil- ity, when used with Motorola IMPRES batteries, to automati- cally determine the need of the battery to be reconditioned.
In order for the features of Motorola Smart batteries and the Adaptive Charging System to be fully available, the data contained in Motorola Smart batteries must be initialized by the charger the first time it is charged. This process is indicated by a STEADY YELLOW on the charger indicator (the same as though the battery were reconditioning). The process is automatic, includes an initial reconditioning of the bat- tery, and begins charging upon completion of this process. This pro- cess requires time to initialize the battery, so the battery should be left in the charger overnight on the initial insertion.
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger operates both as:
•a Charger with all Motorola authorized batteries, and
•a Reconditioner with Motorola authorized IMPRES batteries.
