Using Buddy Lists
A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status, or “presence,” you can
monitor. Your contacts 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. If you like, you can block others from
monitoring your status.
Your phone can “watch” the status of up to eight other phones. 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 Office
Live Communications Server 2005 on page 4-6 , or contact your system
administrator.
Updating 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.
To change your presence setting:
1. Do one of the following:
— Press
, and then select Features > Presence > My Status.
or
— From the idle screen, press the MyStat soft key.
The My Status screen displays.
2. Scroll to the status you want, and then press . The default status is
Online.
3. Press to return to the idle screen.
Note Monitoring the status (presence) of contacts in a buddy list is an optional feature
that your system administrator enables. Your system may not support it. For more
information, contact your system administrator.
