1.Tap the Applications tab in the Keeper.

in the Messages tab.

Using instant messaging

The Pepper pad provides two kinds of instant messaging; AOL IM and Local Network IM. When you are logged onto either IM, its icon is displayed on the lower right of the screen.

To open the IM window:

1.Tap the IM button in the Global toolbar.

If an IM icon is displayed on the lower right of the screen, you can also open the window by tapping it.

2.For IM menu options, tap one of the two IM buttons on the lower left above the Keeper icon.

To close the IM window, either tap the Hide button in the IM window or the IM button in the Global toolbar.

AOL Instant Messaging

Note: If you didn’t enter AOL IM information during setup, tap the IM icon in the Settings tab in the Keeper, and follow the instructions for doing so.

If you had an AOL Instant Messaging account before you got your Pepper pad, your buddy lists are imported to the pad when you enter your AOL Screen Name and password and sign on.

If you are new to AOL IM, once you have a Screen Name and Password and sign on, you can set up buddy lists, send instant messages, and invite people for chats.

You can have only one AOL IM session running at a time using the same Screen Name. Therefore, if you are logged on from your pad and you log onto AOL IM from a computer with the same Screen Name, you will be logged out of the AOL IM session on your pad. Conversely, if you are logged onto AOL IM from a computer and log on from your pad, you will be logged out of the other AOL IM session.
