Optimizing your Philips Xenium
battery performance
Here are some steps to help you optimize your Philips
Xenium’s battery performance.
How to optimize the standby and talk time
of your phone?
Always ensure that your phone profile is
appropriately set to meet your actual usage. Profile
setting significantly impacts the phone’s battery
performance. In general, Outdoor Mode is the most
power-draining setting while Silent Mode consumes
the least amount of power.
If you’re using a Xenium phone with a dual SIM
feature, try to activate the 2 SIM cards only when
absolutely necessary. If you are in a country with
single coverage, deactivate the non-covered SIM to
prolong battery usage.
If you’re not using applications like Bluetooth, WIFI,
GPS and JAVA, turn them off. And be sure to lock
your phone to prevent accidental pressing of the
keys with the auto-lock feature.
Adjust the intensity and duration of your display
screen’s backlight to low or medium level and for
the shortest duration. In general, the lower the
backlight level and the shorter the duration, the
more power you will save.
Avoid using or placing your phone near magnetic
objects (eg. a radio or television) or on metal
surfaces, which will impact the network connection
and ultimately drain power from your battery.
How to extend your battery’s life?
Full charging and full running down of your battery
will extend its life. Charge the battery once the low-
battery warning comes on.
Temperature will impact battery usage. Over time,
heat will degrade your battery’s performance. Keep
your phone out of the sun or a hot car. If in low
temperature, place your phone in a warmer place
(eg. your pocket), as battery capacity decreases as
the temperature drops.
Always use authentic accessories as they enable
your battery to perform at its peak. Non-authentic
accessories (eg. chargers) can damage your battery
and even your phone.
