Using Buddy Lists
Your phone combines interactive message services and status monitoring to complement messaging
applications such as email.
Live interaction within a pool of phones is possible by monitoring the presence of the parties involved.
Your phone can watch the status of up to eight other phones or buddies. These other phones form your
buddy list. Your phone displays the status of your buddies in real time. Your phone can be watched by
up to eight other phones.
If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, the behavior of
the presence setting and buddy lists is different. For more information, see Integrating With Microsoft
Live Communications Server 2005.
Updating Your Presence Settings
You can change your presence settings on your phone.
To view and change your presence settings:
1 Press the Menu key, then select Features > Presence > My Status.
2 Use the Up or Down arrow key to scroll through the list, then press the Select soft key to select
your new status.
This affects information sent to phones watching you. Presence information will also be sent to
watching phones when you go off-hook or enable Do Not Disturb.
Managing Buddies
You can select the buddies you want to monitor. These contacts form your buddy status list. You add
contacts to your buddy status list from your contact directory.
Note: Buddies Behave Differently
If your call server is Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, see Integrating With Microsoft
Live Communications Server 2005.
