- Monitor Charging: The charger's indicator light will typically show the charging status (e.g., solid red for charging, solid green for fully charged). Refer to your charger's manual for specific indicator meanings.
- Remove Battery: Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.
Note: Using non-IMPRES chargers may affect battery performance and warranty terms.
Maintenance
- Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the battery contacts and the radio's battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth to ensure good electrical connection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Reconditioning: When used with IMPRES 2 chargers, the battery will undergo adaptive reconditioning to optimize its capacity and extend its lifespan. Follow the charger's instructions for reconditioning cycles.

Troubleshooting
Battery Not Charging or Not Recognized
- Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charger and the charger is powered on.
- Verify that the charger is compatible with the NNTN8560B battery.
- Check the battery and charger contacts for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean if necessary.
- If using a non-IMPRES charger, charging behavior may vary, and the battery may not indicate full charge or percentage correctly.
Shortened Talk Time
- The battery may require reconditioning. Use an IMPRES 2 charger to perform an adaptive reconditioning cycle.
- Battery capacity naturally degrades over time. If reconditioning does not improve performance, the battery may need replacement.
