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.
