1.3.3
IMPRES 2 or IMPRES Pocket-to-Pocket
When charging IMPRES 2 or IMPRES batteries, the IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger records charging
information within battery memory.
If the IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery is removed from one IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger pocket and,
within 30 minutes, inserted into another or the same IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger pocket, then
charging resumes at the point where charging was interrupted.
This feature prevents battery overcharging and minimizes the loss of cycle life. This is especially
important when charging Nickel batteries.
1.3.4
Automatic IMPRES 2 or IMPRES Calibration and Recondition
The IMPRES 2 charger automatically assesses the condition of an IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery.
Based on this condition, the charger automatically calibrates or reconditions the battery.
Interruption of either the discharge phase or the full charge phase delays calibration until the next
charging opportunity.
Use Charger Setup mode to enable or disable calibration or reconditioning. When you disable
calibration and reconditioning, but the IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery requires calibration or
reconditioning, the LED flashes alternating amber and green at battery insertion and after the battery is
charged.
NOTE: The IMPRES 2 or IMPRES battery must be outside an IMPRES 2 or IMPRES charger
pocket for more than 30 minutes for automatic calibration or reconditioning.
1.3.5
IMPRES Battery with Self-Calibration and Recondition
CAUTION: IMPRES 2 batteries that have
calibration and reconditioning when docked into this IMPRES 2 charger (with software version
2.05 or newer).
NOTE: Ensure that your charger is always updated with the latest firmware. You can download
the MSI Charger Reprogrammer application package from Motorola Online (MOL) or Motorola
Solutions website.
