Batteries and Accessories

Through an exclusive, patent-pending technology, Motorola's IMPRES accessory portfolio enables communication between the radio and associated accessories. The MOTOTRBO platform is the first to offer a combined portfolio of IMPRES energy and audio accessories.

IMPRES audio accessories assure quality communication with optimal audio performance. The radio optimizes its output for each type of audio accessory attached, resulting in more consistent output. For example, if a user looks away from the Remote Speaker Microphone while transmitting, the IMPRES microphone is smart enough to adjust the audio output so that the user's voice comes through clearly. IMPRES technology also offers noise suppression capabilities that reduce the amount of background noise on the transmitting end.

Motorola's industry-exclusive IMPRES energy system enables automated battery reconditioning, display of critical battery status information and other key benefits. This automated system works to diminish memory effect, optimize the cycle life of the battery and maximize talk time. The result a MOTOTRBO system that's charged and ready to go wherever you need it.

impres Battery

IMPRES Li-Ion Portable Battery

Motorola IMPRES batteries, when used with an IMPRES charger, provide automatic, adaptive reconditioning, end-of-life display and other advanced features – offering you superior, long lasting performance.

Automated battery maintenance
Now manual tracking and recording of battery use are a thing of the past. IMPRES uses a unique communications protocol to facilitate adaptive reconditioning – optimizing the life cyle of your batteries and maximizing talk time.

Long-term safe charging
IMPRES chargers monitor IMPRES batteries so that they are charged and ready to go whenever you need them. In addition, IMPRES batteries may be left in IMPRES chargers for extended periods of time without the risk of heat damage.

Extended warranty
When used exclusively with IMPRES chargers, MOTOTRBO IMPRES batteries have an 18 month capacity warranty coverage.

Proven Tough
IMPRES batteries are subjected to the same rigorous testing and held to the same high standards as all Motorola Premium batteries. Actual results of Drop, Vibration and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) tests prove Motorola batteries outperform the competition.

impres Charger

IMPRES Multi-Unit Charger with Display

Motorola's state-of-the-art IMPRES technology allows communication between the battery and the charger. The result - a radio system that's charged and ready to go whenever you need it.

Automated battery maintenance
Now manual tracking and recording of battery use are a thing of the past. IMPRES uses a unique communications protocol to facilitate adaptive reconditioning — the charger evaluates the details of the battery's usage pattern to determine the optimal reconditioning interval. This automated process works to diminish memory effect and optimize the cycle life of the battery and maximize talk time.

Chargers that communicate
IMPRES multi-unit chargers are available with a two-line display module. Your customers now have access to valuable information such as:

  • Battery capacity (in mAh and percent of minimum rated capacity) and voltage while charging and at completion of charge
  • Time remaining to complete rapid charging (NiCd and NiMH only)
  • Current battery charge status
  • The battery's unique serial number, part number and chemistry

Knowledge is power. Now you can make informed decisions on battery replacement and asset management.

Long-term safe charging
IMPRES chargers monitor IMPRES batteries so that they are charged and ready to go whenever you need them. In addition, IMPRES batteries may be left in IMPRES chargers for extended periods of time without the risk of heat damage.

Support for mixed battery inventories
IMPRES chargers are compatible with non-IMPRES Motorola batteries, making the migration to all IMPRES much easier. However, automatic reconditioning and all other IMPRES features are realized only when using Motorola IMPRES batteries and chargers.

impres Remote Speaker Microphone

IMPRES Remote Speaker Microphone

Several IMPRES remote speaker microphones are available for use with MOTOTRBO radios and feature Motorola's state-of-the-art IMPRES audio technology.

Windporting Remote Speaker Microphones
These remote speaker microphones boast a revolutionary windporting feature that helps lessen the background noise from high winds and other severe weather conditions. Audio can pass through the speaker grill even when the microphone port is blocked by water. Now you can be more confident than ever of clear, understandable communication when Mother Nature is uncooperative.

Noise-Cancelling Remote Speaker Microphone
With a large housing for use with gloves or in rugged environments, this remote speaker microphone features a noise cancelling directional microphone which helps eliminate ambient noise and is beneficial in high noise environments.

IMPRES Temple Transducer

IMPRES Temple Transducer

The IMPRES temple transducer is a lightweight headset that provides high-clarity, hands free, discreet two-way communication while maintaining the comfort necessary for extended wear in moderate noise environments and also features Motorola's state-of-the-art IMPRES audio technology.

Enabling you to receive audio communication without covering your ears, the receive portion of the IMPRES Temple Transducer rests on the temples and is capable of converting the input audio from a two-way radio into sound vibration. The sound vibration is transmitted through the surrounding human tissue and bone directly into the inner ear where it is received by the user. This allows you to hear external sounds from both ears while receiving radio communications. The IMPRES Temple Transducer is ideal for environments where you need to be able to hear both radio communications as well as the external sounds of your environment.
