To update your presence setting:

1From Lines view, press More, and press MyStat. Or, select Settings from Home view, and select Features > Presence > My Status.

2From the My Status screen, select the status you want.

Your new status is sent to phones watching you.

Power Tip: How to Automatically Change Your Status When Your Phone is Idle

You can enable your phone to automatically set your status to Away if your phone is idle for a certain length of time. After you touch the screen or press a key on your phone, your status changes to Online again. To enable this feature, select Settings from Home view, and select Basic > Preferences > Presence > Idle Timeout. From the Idle Timeout screen, enable an office hours and/or off hours timeout period, and enter the number of minutes your phone should be idle before your status changes to Away.

Setting Up and Managing a Buddy List

If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they’re in your Buddy list. You add people to your Buddy list from your Contact Directory; therefore, make sure the person you want to monitor exists in your Contact Directory.
