Presence / Status / Buddy Lists
The telephone combines interactive message services and status monitoring to comple- ment a traditional messaging application such as email.
Live interaction within a pool of telephones is possible by monitoring the “presence” of the parties involved. Each telephone can “watch” the status of up to eight other telephones. These other telephones form the “Buddy List”. The status of buddies is displayed and updated in real time. Each telephone can also be “watched” by up to eight other telephones.
To add or delete a contact from your buddy list, or block a contact:
1.Press ConferenceDirectories and select Contact Directory.
2.Using the arrow keys, scroll through the directory to choose a contact.
3.Press Edit and scroll down to the Watch Buddy or Block Buddy fields.
4.Press 
to switch between Enabled or Disabled status.
5.Press the Save soft key or Cancel to abandon the change then press ConferenceDirectories to return to the idle display.
The diagrams show a typical Buddy Status screen display of monitored telephones and a My Status display.
