Log in to service
The first time you log in to IM, you must enter your user name and password and
select the IM provider you want to use. After the first login, you will not have to
select the network again, unless you want to change it. See “IM settings” on
page 103 for more information.
Every time you log in, you will receive screen prompts for your user name and
password. The user name you entered previously appears on the User ID screen;
however, you must manually enter your password every time you log in.
To log in for the first time, perform the following steps:
1 Select Menu > IM.
Opening application appears, followed by the Inst. messaging offline menu.
2 Select Login.
If this is the first time you have logged in, the IM provider screen appears. If
this is not the first time you have logged in, the User ID screen appears, and
you can skip to step 4.
3 Select an IM provider.
A confirmation screen appears, then the User ID screen.
4 Enter your user name, and select Options > OK.
The Password screen appears.
5 Enter your password, and select Options > OK.
Logging in appears, then Logged in, followed by the Inst. messaging
online menu.
After you have logged into IM initially, you have the option of a manual login
or an automatic login. See “Set up Auto login” on page 104 for information on
setting up automatic login.
Set Availability
You can determine if other users can tell whether you are available or not. To set
your availability, perform the following steps:

receive availability information and messages from others.
Appear offline—even though others see your status as offline, you receive
availability information and messages from others.
