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.
