Conditioning Batteries

Got my new PowerEx batteries today.  In the instructions is says they need to be cycled  3-5 times for best performance.  Then it says battery cycling ca ne achieved by simply using the batteries and recharging or using the charger's built in conditioner.  

Do I only have to use the conditioner once, or would I also do it 3-5 times?  Just kinda confusing wording.

That's what I'm doing right now.  Kinda weird though.  Hot both buttons at the same time.  Both went yellow.  Before I left for the store, one had already switched to red(charging).  The other one, one hour later, is still discharging(yellow).

Here's how I do mine:

[1] Charge full, till green lights are lit
[2]  Swap batts from one side/charger to the next - this will almost always result in red lights for the batts, even if previously charged to green (can't switch to discharge mode when fully charged / green light lit, for some reason).
[3]  After you swamp them out, hit the discharge/charge buttons to discharge them.  As Mike says, they'll flash yellow while discharging, then go to red while charging, then green when fully charged.
[4]  Repeat [1]-[3] a couple/few times upon purchase, or every couple months.
[5]  Off you go!
