and Contact List.

2.Using the arrow keys, scroll through the directory to choose a contact.

3.Press Edit and scroll down using the Next soft key to Ring Type.

4.Enter a number corresponding to

one of the ring types available (press then the Delete soft key to remove an existing value).

5.Press the Save soft key or Cancel to abandon the change.

Incoming calls from this contact will now have the distinctive ringing pattern applied.

See Ring Type in this guide for further details.

This feature is local to the telephone, and may be over-ridden by Server set- tings. Contact your System Administra- tor for more details.

Presence / Status / Buddy Lists

The telephone combines interactive message services and status monitoring to complement a traditional messaging application such as email.

Live interaction within a pool of tele- phones is possible by monitoring the “presence” of the parties involved.

To add or delete a contact from your buddy list, or block a contact:

1. Press Menu , select Directories,

and Contact List.

2.Using the arrow keys, scroll through the directory to choose a contact.

3.Press Edit and scroll down using the Next soft key to the Watch Buddy or Block Buddy fields.

4.Use the arrow keys or the Change soft key to switch between Enabled or Disabled status.

5.Press the Save soft key or Cancel to abandon the change.

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.

The diagrams show a typical Buddy Status screen display of monitored tele- phones and a My Status display.
