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.

Charging Radios and Batteries

The IMPRES Adaptive Charger System is a fully automated system. The charger pockets accommodate either 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:

1. Plug the charger end of the power supply cord into the DC inlet (1) at the back of the charger.

2. Plug 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.

3. Insert an IMPRES battery or a radio with an IMPRES battery into the charger pocket.
   a) Align the battery contacts with the charger contacts.
   b) Press 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.

4. To remove a radio or IMPRES battery from the charger, pull straight up until the battery completely clears the charger housing.

Fault| | Flashing red| Not chargeable; remove and re-insert radio or battery.
Standby| | Flashing amber| • Battery is waiting to rapid charge.
• Battery may be too hot, too cold, or
low voltage.
• Charger may be too hot.
---|---|---|---
End of Service Life| | Alternating red and green| The battery remains usable but maybe
nearing the end of its rated service life.
Recalibration| | Alternating amber and green| Calibrate the battery.

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.

IMPRES Pocket-to-Pocket

When charging IMPRES batteries, the IMPRES charger records charging information in the battery memory.
Charging can resume if the user removes the IMPRES battery from one IMPRES charger pocket and within 30 minutes, insert it into the same or a different IMPRES charger pocket.

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 automatic calibration and recondition.

IMPRES 2 End of Service Life LED Indication
As batteries are used, normal wear reduces available capacity. At the successful completion of calibration and reconditioning, IMPRES 2 chargers compare IMPRES 2 battery capacity to the battery Rated Capacity.
When the capacity is at a very low value, the IMPRES 2 battery may be nearing its End of Service.

Initiating Calibration and Recondition Manually
Prerequisites:Ensure that the IMPRES battery is removed from the charger for more than two and a half minutes.
Procedure:

1. Insert the battery into the charger pocket.
2. Remove the battery from the charger pocket.
3. Reinsert the battery into the charger pocket within 5 seconds.
   Calibration and recondition start immediately, beginning with battery discharge indicated by a steady amber LED status. Calibration and recondition are complete only after a full charge indicated by a steady green LED status. See IMPRES Battery Charging Indicators on page 9.

Terminating Calibration and Recondition Manually
Procedure:

1. Remove the battery from the charger pocket.
2. Reinsert the battery into the charger pocket within 5 seconds.
   Battery discharge immediately terminates and normal battery charging starts. The LED indicates charge status.
