Using Buddy Lists

Note	Monitoring the status (presence) of contacts is an optional feature that your system
	administrator enables. Your system may not support it. For more information,
	contact your system administrator.

A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status, or “presence,” you can monitor. Users update their presence setting (for example, “Be right back,” “Out to lunch,” or “Busy”), and you can view their status in real time from your phone’s Buddy Status screen, or from the idle screen (if your buddy has a Speed Dial Key on your phone). If you like, you can block others from monitoring your status.

Your phone can “watch” the status of up to eight other phones, or 48 buddies. These phones form your “Buddy List.” Your phone can be monitored by up to eight other phones.

If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005, the behavior of presence settings and buddy lists is different. For more information, see Integrating With Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 on page 4-14, or contact your system administrator.

Updating Your Presence Settings

Your presence setting indicates your status (either online, busy, be right back, away, out to lunch, offline, or do not disturb). Update your presence setting so that other users can monitor your status from their phones.

When you select a presence setting (other than online), the setting displays on the status bar on your phone.

To update your presence settings:

1.Do one of the following:

—Tap the My Status soft key.

or

—Tap > Features > Presence > My Status.
