Troubleshooting

The phone does not switch on

Remove/reinstall the battery. Then charge the phone until the battery icon stops scrolling. Unplug the charger and try to switch the mobile on.

The display shows BLOCKED when you switch on the phone

Somebody tried to use your phone but didn’t know th e PIN code nor the unblocking code (PUK). Contact your service provider.

The display shows IMSI failure

This problem is related to your subscription. Contact your operator.

Your phone doesn’t return to idl e screen

Long press the hang-up key or switch off the phone, check that the SIM card and the battery are installed correctly and switch it on again.

The network symbol is not di splayed

The network connection is lost. Either you are in a radio shadow (in a tunnel or between tall buildings) or you are outside the network coverage area. Try from an other place, try to reconnect to the netwo rk (especially when abroad), check that the antenna is in place if your mobile has an external antenna, or contact your network operator for assistance/information.

The display doesn’t respond (or the display responds slowly) to key presses

The display responds more slowly at very low temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the phone. Take the phone to a warmer place and try again. In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

Your battery seems to over heat

Note:
You might be using a charger that was not intended for use with your phone. Make sure you always use the Philips authentic accessory shipped with your phone.

Your phone doesn’t display the phone numbers of incoming calls

This feature is network a nd subscription dependen t. If the network doesn’t send the caller’s number, the phone will display Call 1 or Withheld instead. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can’t send text messages

Some networks don’t all ow message exchanges with other networks. First check that you have entered the number of your SMS centre, or contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

You can’t receive and/or store JP EG pictures

A picture may not be accept ed by your mobile phone if it is t oo large, if its name is too long, or if it doesn’t have the correct file format.

You feel that you have missed some calls

Check your call divert options.

When charging, the battery icon shows no bar and the outline is flashing

Only charge the battery in an environment where the temperature does not go below 0°C (32°F) or above 50°C (113°F). In other cases please contact your phone supplier.

The display shows SIM failure

Check that the SIM card has been inserted correctly. If the problem persists, your SIM card may be damaged. Contact your operator.

When attempting to use a feature in the menu, the display shows NOT ALLOWED

Some features are network dependent. They are only available, therefore, if the network or your subscription supports them. Contact your operator for detailed information on this subject.

The display shows INSERT YOUR SIM CARD

Check that the SIM card has been inserted correctly. If the problem persists, your SIM card may be damaged. Contact your opera tor.

The autonomy of your phone seems lower than indicated on the user guide

The autonomy is linked to your settings (e.g., ringer volume, backlight duration) and the features you use. To increase the autonomy, and whenever possible, you must deactivate features you do not use.

Your phone doesn’t work well in your car

A car contains many metall ic parts that absorb elec tromagnetic waves which can affect the phone ’s performance. A car kit is available to provide you with an external antenna and enables you to make and receive phone calls without handling the handset.
Check with the local authorities whether or not you are allowed to use the phone while driving.

Your phone is not charging

If the battery is completely flat, it might take several minutes of pre­charge (up to 5 minutes in some cases) before the charging icon is displayed on the screen.

The picture captured with the phone camera is not clear

Make sure that the camera lens on both sides is clean.

Specific Absorption Rate Information

International standards
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forecast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general public is
averaged over one gram of tissue
Tests for SAR have been conducte d using recommended operating positions with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR levels of

28 Safety & Precaution
the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are t o a base station antenna, the l ower the power output. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.

CNIRP recommendation.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.

Tips & tricks

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. Non­authentic accessories (eg. chargers) can damage your battery and even your phone .
